Message from Dean

Welcome to the Faculty of Business Studies (FBS), Jahangirnagar University. The Faculty of Business Studies was established with a mission to produce efficient business graduates who will contribute sharply for fostering the economic growth of our nation. The FBS, as it stands now, has a short history. The department of Finance & Banking and the department of Marketing were established under this Faculty in the year 2009. In the following year i.e. 2010, the department of Accounting & Information Systems and Management Studies were launched. The semester system was introduced in this Faculty from very beginning i.e. the first batch (session 2009-2010). Currently, the Faculty is offering Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) and Master of Business Administration (MBA) degrees for undergraduate and post-graduate students respectively. At present there are a good number of quality teachers, skilled employees and around 2000 students in the four (04) departments under this Faculty. The Faculty is also planning to introduce few new departments in future considering the strong demand for business education in our country.

The EMBA Program (Weekend) started functioning under this Faculty in February, 2011. At present, a total of 140 students are being admitted per batch (35 students in each department) in this Program. Students of this program enjoy most of the support services through our on line facility.

Each of the four departments under the Faculty has fully air-conditioned classrooms in a serene natural environment with adequate lighting, sophisticated overhead and multimedia projectors for visual presentation using computers. Besides, this faculty has a rich seminar library and its area is fully covered under Wi-Fi system with uninterrupted electricity supply. The Faculty publishes its journal named “The Jahangirnagar Journal of Business Studies’’ on annual basis. The departments also publish their journals on regular basis.
There are student advisors in each department and they regularly provide counseling services to the students on academic and other related issues.

The Faculty maintains a strong linkage with the business community. Other than, business leaders and managers are invited on a regular basis to conduct seminars and workshops for the students and faculties. The faculty is earning its competence day by day to satisfy the market needs of our graduates in the real world.
