Afterward, Mr. Ackel received a Juris Doctor in Civil Law from Loyola University New Orleans’ College of Law. Mr. Ackel currently utilizes his skills and expertise as a civil litigator at Tribute Real Estate in New Orleans.

    Though Thad Ackel eventually entered the field of real estate law, his time at Tulane University proved instrumental in preparing him for his career and future. Located in New Orleans, the Freeman School of Business bears the name of Mr. Alfred Freeman, the former chairman of Coca Cola Bottling Company. The school offers a number of excellent undergraduate programs, full-time MBA programs, and other masters programs.

    The Freeman School of Business enjoys high standing among business schools in the United States and around the world for its quality educational programs and classes. It became a charter member of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business in 1916 and continues to offer top-notch education to its students to the present day. The Freeman School of Business offers a Bachelor of Science in Management, as well as several graduate degrees, including Doctor of Philosophy, Master of Accounting, Master of Management, Master of Risk Management, and Master of Business Administration, among others.

    The school operates two campuses: its primary location at the New Orleans campus near the Tulane University Law School, and another facility at Houston, Texas. The finance school hosts the Tulane Corporate Law Institute forum, which brings together top financial practitioners from all over the United States. The Freeman School of Business is also quite well known for the Burkenroad Reports, which are prepared by students who study and create investment research reports on publicly held businesses.

    The school also possesses a unique method of studying international law: each Freeman graduate course incorporates a trip to the region the course focuses on, including Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Classes are conducted at local business schools and students receive the rare opportunity to interact with local business leaders while there.
