Awards

Every December the College presents three awards to the students and faculty of the graduating FEMBA cohort:

  1. Outstanding Student Award
    This award was established in recognition of the CoBA's commitment to excellence in graduate management education. Each year, the award recognizes the accomplishments of one or more outstanding FEMBA students. The nominations for the award are submitted and voted upon by the FEMBA faculty. Selection criteria include demonstrated outstanding academic achievement in graduate coursework. 
  2. Leadership and Service Award
    The FEMBA Leadership and Service Award was established in recognition of CoBA's commitment to its professional MBA Programs. Each year, the award is presented to one or more graduating FEMBA students in recognition of the leadership, mentorship and service contribution to their cohort, the FEMBA Program, and the community. The nominations for this award are submitted by FEMBA students to the Director of Graduate Programs for consideration.
  3. Outstanding Instructor Award
    CoBA initiated this award to encourage innovation and excellence in graduate teaching that results in students developing the skills and disposition of advanced business knowledge. The nomination and selection for this award is by FEMBA students. Faculty members who have received this award in the past five years are not eligible. The MBA Office will send a separate email including a list of eligible faculty members.
