The College of Business delivers undergraduate and graduate degree programs providing a distinctive blend of opportunities for learning, scholarship, and professional development that meets the needs of a diverse student population.

The mission is facilitated by: an undergraduate curriculum based upon a traditional liberal arts foundation emphasizing business fundamentals, ethics, critical thinking, and communication while incorporating new technologies and an awareness of the global marketplace; a graduate curriculum based on ethical decision-making, critical thinking, research design and data analysis, technological proficiency, communication expertise, national and global business perspectives designed to produce creative leaders; and a faculty with extensive business experience and academic credentials committed to excellence in teaching, research and scholarship contributing to knowledge in their disciplines, and service to the regional business community.
