College of Business

A Message From Our Dean


The Jennings A. Jones College of Business at Middle Tennessee State University - the Jones College - has more than 125 full-time faculty, over 3,000 undergraduate majors, and over 500 graduate students. We are located in a state-of-the-art facility in the academic heart of the campus.

Accredited by AACSB International, the Jones College is one of the largest colleges of business in the United States by full-time faculty size. Our Accounting department achieved separate AACSB International accreditation in 2004. Our programs have been experiencing rapid growth for the last several years.

However, our emphasis is not on size or growth but rather on providing student centered, quality programs. We are, indeed, committed to Accessibility, Quality, and Value.

Our five departments offer an array of degrees and concentrations. Our faculty is ethnically and culturally diverse, holding degrees from prestigious universities from around the world.

We invite you to review these web pages and get to know more about us. Then, if you are seeking a student-centered environment, dedicated faculty, great facilities, and extraordinary opportunity, join us in the Jones College.

E. James Burton, Dean
