Master's Programs
We believe people learn best by doing.
That’s why hands-on learning is at the heart of our graduate programs.
Every program we offer gives you the unique opportunity to complete hands-on projects with real clients—helping you build the communication, teamwork, management, and leadership skills employers want.
Our faculty are experienced practitioners.
Kogod’s professors don’t just teach—they do. Our faculty are real-world practitioners who bring extensive experience and connections to the classroom. They're creating groundbreaking research in fields like women's business ownership, ethical consumerism, sustainability, and multicultural marketing. And, most importantly, they're dedicated to helping you become the best student, communicator, professional, leader, and person you can be.
We're a close-knit, diverse community.
At Kogod, we pride ourselves on our sense of community and the diverse experiences our students bring. We keep our class sizes small—15-20 people—ensuring that you can meaningfully connect with professors, staff, and fellow students. Our students develop lifelong friendships and business partnerships with each other, and our alumni still keep in touch with the professors who shaped their lives and careers.
We put you at the heart of Washington, DC.
The Kogod School of Business sits mere miles from the White House, United States Capitol, World Bank and IMF, and headquarters of some of the largest companies in the world, providing you with unparalleled opportunities to make an impact locally, nationally, and globally.
American University’s beautiful 84-acre campus is an award-winning arboretum and public garden.
