In consonance with the Mission and Baccalaureate Goals of the University, our mission is to integrate excellence in instruction, relevant faculty scholarship, and proactive community service to prepare students from differing backgrounds to be successful, ethical, and globally aware business professionals. We accomplish this by:

Providing students with high quality educational opportunities, engaging them with faculty, local business, regional community, and university organizations.
-
Continuously improving a challenging curriculum through ongoing student learning 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.
