Established in 1985, the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business has developed a national reputation for its rigorous program of study that prepares graduates to serve as principled leaders in the global community. Over 70 full-time faculty teach nearly 2,000 students each year in the Ernest A. Koury, Sr. Business Center and Richard W. Sankey Hall, two buildings that comprise more than 90,000 square feet of classrooms, computer labs, finance centers, design thinking spaces, faculty offices and collaborative study rooms that foster student teamwork and professional networking.

The Love School of Business offers 13 undergraduate majors across five departments – accounting, economics, finance, management & entrepreneurship, and marketing & international business – with graduate programs in business administration, business analytics & AI and accounting. It also features accelerated 3+1 dual-degree programs in accounting and business analytics & AI, as well as an international business dual-degree program in partnership with universities in Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

The school is home to seven interdisciplinary centers:

*The Chandler Family Professional Sales Center
*The Doherty Center for Creativity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship
*The Porter Family Professional Development Center
*The William Garrard Reed Finance Center
*The Center for Organizational Analytics
*The Center for Financial Literacy
*The Center for Humanity in Business

More than 97% of students in the Love School of Business secure employment, enroll in graduate school or do both within nine months of graduation. Students routinely are employed by some of the nation’s most recognizable companies. Faculty regularly earn awards for excellence in teaching and mentoring, with scholarly contributions to their disciplines through publications in major journals and presentations at leading national conferences.

Named for the founder of Burlington Industries – which would grow from its origins in Burlington, North Carolina, to be the world’s largest textile company – and his wife, the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business is accredited by AACSB International, an honor achieved by fewer than 5% of business schools in the world. Elon earned its initial AACSB accreditation in 2004 and achieved re-accreditation in 2009, 2014, 2019 and 2024. The school’s undergraduate business degree program is nationally ranked by Poets & Quants, most recently No. 33 in the United States and No. 21 among private universities.
