Unrivaled Location
American University’s Kogod School of Business offers the best of both worlds—the spectacular beauty of an 84-acre award-winning campus arboretum and an unrivaled location in the heart of an international business capital.
Our stunning campus sits in the northwest quadrant of Washington, DC, just miles from downtown, where some of the world’s most influential government, media, and financial institutions are located, providing you with unparalleled opportunities to make an impact locally, nationally, and globally.
Expert Faculty
Your professors will know your name and help you pursue your passions, grow your brand, and make connections that can launch or elevate your career—they’re real-world practitioners who bring their expertise and experience into the classroom and beyond.
