Since its introduction in 1926, the bachelor of science degree program of the College of Business Administration has been fully recognized and registered by the University of the State of New York. Also the College has been a member of the Middle Atlantic (formerly New York State) Association of Colleges of Business Administration since the organization's formation in 1951.
The College of Business Administration is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and in 1939 received accreditation from AACSB - The International Association for Management Education, which is recognized as the premier accrediting agency for baccalaureate and master's degree programs in business administration by the US Department of Education and by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation.

As an institution accredited by the AACSB, the College of Business Administration has an active chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, the national honorary business fraternity. Membership is based on, among other things, the maintenance of an outstanding scholastic record. Other active chapters of honorary and professional fraternities with national affiliations include Alpha Sigma Nu, Phi Kappa Phi, and Beta Alpha Psi, the national honorary accounting fraternity.
Student Government
CBA is fully represented on the undergraduate United Student Government. The thrust of USG activity is twofold: to fulfill the students' creative energies by maintaining a full complement of activities and to influence the course of the University by representing the students on planning and policy councils.
The CBA Student Government serves as a medium of contact among the students and between the students, faculty and administration. Furthermore, through their representatives in the CBA Student Government and the CBA Council, students are afforded a voice in the operations of CBA and in the University at large.
Student Activities
University-wide organizations and activities are open to students of the College of Business Administration according to their enrollment in the day or evening program.
In addition, the College itself traditionally supports and guides a number of student-managed societies and clubs. The general purpose of these organizations is to foster the students' interest in business affairs and practice. Through memberships, students may also acquire affiliation with various professional organizations in their respective fields. Other organizations in CBA foster broader cultural interests.

The purposes of the Association are to foster unity and loyalty among School of Business Administration alumni, to promote the growth and prestige of Fordham University and its School of Business Administration, to foster interest in the science of business, to sponsor educational and social meetings among and of interest to, the members of the Association and to do everything necessary and proper to accomplish these purposes.
