The A. B. Freeman School of Business contributes to a sustainable future by producing solutions-oriented knowledge and preparing the next generation of transformative leaders. Through world-class undergraduate and graduate degrees and an emphasis on experiential learning, we prepare students to thrive in their careers and contribute positively to their communities. Our business education is designed to extend beyond the classroom through immersive experiences and real-world projects that make an impact.
Fundraising Priorities
The annual fund allows school leaders to fulfill pressing needs and opportunities across the business school. It provides critical flexibility to implement new ideas and enhance resources. Gifts are put to immediate use to the benefit of students, faculty, and academic initiatives.
Tuition aid can help graduate students to change careers or advance in their field without being limited by financial constraints. In addition to their studies, graduate students perform valuable research and help teach undergraduate courses.
For a superior experience from day one, student services are tailored for business majors and provided in addition to those of the university. Gifts to this fund help advance and expand current offerings in advising, study abroad, business communications, corpporate relations and the school's Career Management Center.
That experiential learning can lead to transformative development for students, personally and professionally, is a driving principle of our school. The Schwartz Family Center for Experiential Business Learning is devoted to expanding hands-on opportunities throughout the business curriculum. Gifts can help faculty re-design courses, and provide resources to teach industry-specific skills and new technologies like AI. Support can also help foster the corporate partnerships needed for experiential learning through case studies and networking. We also adapt course offerings and extracurricular activities as industries evolve — students have enthusiastically embraced recent developments in entrepreneurship, hospitality management, real estate finance, sports management and investment banking.
Energy lies at the heart of the world’s most pressing issues, and to meet the demands of this rapidly evolving industry, our business courses prepare future energy leaders by improving their understanding of the integration of energy markets, policies and the environment.
Founded in 2004, the Tulane Energy Institute (TEI) is poised to be a strong energy innovation engine and strategic advisor to businesses tackling real-world challenges. Gifts can help deepen TEI's global impact by enhancing our academic offerings, as well as the research produced to help guide policymakers and practitioners.
Faculty are at the heart of every great business school. Their teaching inspires students, their research drives progress, and their leadership elevates the institution as a whole. Investing in faculty is one of the most direct and lasting ways to provide academic excellence, global influence and a transformative student experience.
Gifts can provide funds for faculty to explore complex challenges facing businesses and society, and their subsequent publication of solution-focused research. Gifts are also needed to establish endowed positions, such as a professorship or chair, to help retain faculty leaders or attract new hires with desirable expertise.
