Welcome to the College of Business Administration
The College of Business Administration began its advent into Jeddah society in the year 2000 as the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) that granted diplomas in various business-related courses with a small number of students of both genders in two locations.

Dean of CBA , Dr. Ramzia Hisham Albakri
I am pleased to welcome you to the College of Business Administration (CBA), the Mother College of the University of Business and Technology. The college was established to prepare young professionals to go out in the world and make their mark in the labor market and entrepreneurship scene in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in particular and the Gulf region in general. Business innovation is a feature of the Kingdom's vision 2030. CBA has filled this gap since its inception as it builds the competencies required to meet the market needs of specialists in the business sector. Those who join the college can specialize in one of the ten accredited specializations offered at the Bachelor's and Master's levels. The majors are Marketing, Accounting, Finance, Human Resources Management, Supply Chain Management, Business Analytics and Management Information Systems, Insurance & Risk Management, Retail Management, Sports Management and Hospitality and Tourism Management. Upon graduation and completion of the bachelor's stage, all graduates will receive accredited vocational training to obtain an internationally recognized diploma to support their professional career path. It is important to mention that the college relies on practical education in addition to theoretical science to keep pace with the needs of the local and global market. Therefore, all study materials are based on the analysis of actual case studies that represent the expected reality in the field of professional work. CBA is accredited by the national accreditation body NCAAA, in addition to the Association of Charted Certified Accountants (ACCA), and it is a member of the Association of Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) as well as the EFMD Global Network Association. This makes the college one of the most outstanding business colleges in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thankfully, many batches have graduated and have proven themselves working in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and abroad, where they hold highly esteemed administrative positions. 85% of our graduates get their job offers during their cooperative training period, part of their study plan. Our graduates work in the public and private sectors, and some have started their own businesses. This would not have been achieved without them being prepared through their studies in English at the College of Business Administration, participation in periodic conferences, summer studies outside the Kingdom, and business activities locally and internationally. We are very proud of the college's graduates and students because they are indeed an example of the balance of academia and practice, and their achievements are there for everyone to witness. I want to confirm that this passionate spirit stems from their distinguished professors who foster their skills in the business sector to produce excellence and innovation in a country that expects a lot from them to realize its ambitious vision.
