The Walker College of Business (WCOB) and its nearly 5,000 students call App State’s Kenneth E. Peacock Hall home. The college, which is accredited by AACSB International, and its business bachelor’s and master’s programs have been recognized among the best in the nation — and the world. Walker College emphasizes international experiences, sustainable business practices, entrepreneurial programs and real-world applications with industry. It offers 11 undergraduate majors and three master’s degree programs.
Peacock Hall also houses several units that support students campuswide and in which faculty and staff engage in multidisciplinary research that benefits both campus and the local community. These include the Transportation Insight Center for Entrepreneurship, Center for Economic Research and Policy Analysis, Research Institute for Environment, Energy and Economics and Brantley Risk and Insurance Center.
App State’s Peacock Hall addition and renovation project, currently underway, is expected to extend the life of the building by 30–50 years. The renovation includes replacing elevators, HVAC/controls and chillers, as well as the facility’s tiered, lecture-style classrooms. Proposed facilities for the building’s four-story addition, which is anticipated to open in 2027, include classrooms; common areas; a learning lab; special use areas for campus events; mechanical infrastructure space; and student service offices.
