School of Business Strategic Charter

Our Mission

Our undergraduate programs are of primary importance. We prepare our students for entry and mid-level managerial positions, entry-level professional specializations, and entrepreneurial roles. Further, we equip them with the capacity to identify their own goals and to proactively manage their life-long career prospects.

Our graduate programs are of major importance. We prepare our master's degree students to be decision-makers, leaders, and entrepreneurs, ready for broad-spectrum managerial responsibilities or for success as higher-level professional specialists.

We affirm our commitment to intellectual contributions that enhance our teaching, particularly applied scholarship and instructional development.

We employ our professional skills in service to the School, the University, scholarly and professional organizations, the business community, and the regional community.

Our Educational Philosophy

To prepare our students for the roles we have described, we must assure their mastery of:

  • Thinking skills: logical, critical and integrated analysis; the capacity to exercise good judgment; creative and non-traditional problem solving; and proficiency in ethical reasoning
  • Communication skills: proficiency in oral, written, presentation, and distance communication
  • Change management: understanding and shaping the forces of change, including globalization, and using this understanding to formulate, evaluate, and select from alternative strategies to achieve sustainable competitive advantage
  • Self-development: the capacity to engage in the effective self-management of lifelong learning to achieve continuous professional and personal growth
