- Providing students with high quality educational opportunities by engaging them with faculty, local business, regional community, and university organizations.
- Continuously improving a challenging curriculum through ongoing outcomes assessments.
- Supporting scholarly, professional, and pedagogical research that sustains intellectual vitality and enriches student learning.
- Providing collaborative research efforts with the more capable students so as to develop their latent talents and advance their career opportunities.
- Providing the region, university, and broader professional community with the expertise that further strengthens the academic currency of the Faculty, and that adds value to these communities.
In support of this mission, the curriculum in the Business School’s majors of accounting, finance, management, and marketing will include strong components in critical thinking, oral and written communication, ethical awareness, leadership, and international awareness. Each of these skill areas are assessed and are part of our continuous improvement program.
