Faculty of Business

The Faculty of Business at Al-Zaytoonah University was founded in the 1993-1994 scholastic year. Today we are recognized as innovators in business education and research. Our teaching staff and alumni play a key role in enhancing understanding, offering insights and sharing foresights about fundamental business forces that shape our regional and global environment. The Intellectual Capital of our Faculty is a distinguishing feature of all our programs. We have created a culture built on integrity and team work. Upon graduation, our students have the scientific and practical knowledge needed to aid in the growth of the community for a better life.
The Faculty of Business Departments are comprised of: Business Administration, Accounting, Finance and Banking, Marketing, Management Information Systems (MIS), and these departments were developed with consideration of the job opportunities available locally, regionally and internationally, and by benchmarking with other distinguished international universities. Creative thinking, problem solving and research are central to the academic programs. Upon graduation, the student receives a bachelor’s degree in one of these specializations and is prepared for a professional career.
The Faculty of Business at Al-Zaytoonah University is managed with a team spirit. With that in mind, the Faculty has a board, consisting of the Dean, Department Heads, and an outside representative, which meet regularly to discuss and coordinate issues pertaining to their different programs. Our Faculty members have high levels of expertise and experience. Teaching staff members foster an environment of learning and select techniques that challenge students. Committed to excellence and sensitive to the impact of managerial policies on society, The Faculty integrates teaching and research. The Faculty continues to retain and attract excellent teaching staff to increase and enhance the education process needed for the new specializations in the world of globalization.
With a strong tradition of providing quality education, we provide a focused and carefully considered curriculum that builds on work ethics and integrity. The curriculum is updated to meet the requirements in the new work place as well as other established Arab and international universities.
With the increased importance of Quality Assurance and research, to ensure excellence in teaching, The Faculty has embraced the technological revolution. The Deanship, with the full support of the University Administration and Board of trustees, has introduced computerization into course outlines and requirements. The Deanship continues to investigate closing the gap between course outlines of the different specializations, and the job requirements in the market place; accordingly, The Deanship has introduced an Accounting program to be taught completely in English. The Deanship has also introduced courses in other specializations, traditionally taught in Arabic, to be taught in English. This ensures that upon graduation our students are better prepared to meet the demands of the new workplace.
