Legendary Florida A&M Business Dean Set to Retire
Dr. Sybil Mobley is recognized by many as a trailblazer in business education

After spending the last four decades at the helm of Florida A&M University’s School of Business and Industry (SBI), and creating a new standard for business programs around the country, Dr. Sybil Mobley says it’s time for her to go.
Dean Mobley transformed the school of business from a program others looked at with disdain to a school now recognized nationally for its unorthodox approach and excellence. She did things her way, creating a five-year MBA program for top high school graduates who bypassed many introductory college courses by acing college entrance exams and opting for an accelerated, one-of-a-kind graduate degree.
