Professional Philosophy
Few areas of American life are as dynamic and challenging as the world of business. The rapid pace of technological change and the growth of international markets and competition are creating rich opportunities for increased productivity and abundance for an ever-growing population. Business knowledge has become an all-important factor not only in corporate enterprises, but also in government, and not-for-profits.

The School believes that the best business leaders are those who enjoy an intellectual challenge; have a deep appreciation of the theoretical and the practical; understand today’s realities and tomorrow’s possibilities; and see the link between the skills they learn and the character they display.

The School has five learning goals that stem from our mission statement. These learning goals are: ethics, global/multicultural perspective, communication skills, critical thinking skills, and leadership. The faculty is integrally involved in the learning assurance process and engages in the continuous improvement of the curriculum.
