College of Business Administration
The College of Business Administration (COBA) at Abu Dhabi University (ADU) is a source of premier business, management and economic education. With over 1,600 undergraduate and 300 postgraduate students, COBA is among the largest providers of quality business education in the UAE. Our aspiration is to become regionally recognized as a peer among the top accredited schools of business. We are committed to achieving excellence in the development, dissemination and application of business-related knowledge.
The ongoing transformation of the UAE economy will continue to test business leaders in extraordinary ways. Such transformation demands individuals with superior analytical skills and with an intensive preparation for leadership in multi-cultural environments. We offer our students an educational experience that is designed to prepare them for the distinct challenges they will face as emerging business leaders. This educational experience is enabled and supported by an outstanding learning environment that is international, integrative, innovative and experiential.
The true strength of our academic programs comes from the contributions of the COBA faculty. Our faculty members are recruited from the world's finest academic institutions. They have proven track records as teachers, researchers and practitioners. As teachers, they are engaging and strive to show connections between the theoretical and the practical. They are approachable, involved and available to students for support and guidance. As researchers, they specialize in applied research. They study critical issues in the business world and provide thoughtful analyses and concrete solutions which can be used by business leaders to solve problems and advance their industries.
I encourage you to visit and learn for yourself why the ADU COBA experience is an exceptional opportunity that may be right for you.
