The Philosophy of the College

The College of Business is a professional school committed to providing a curriculum that will prepare students for a career in business. This curriculum includes business foundation courses designed to provide students with a broad understanding of business and management functions while developing the analytical ability to solve business problems. In addition, each student selects a major area of study, which focuses on the development of general proficiency in a professional field in which the student has a career interest.

A Bachelor’s of Business Administration will challenge the student to develop their intellectual and creative interests and prepare them for problem solving and decision making jobs in organizations. The bottom line of any degree program is preparation for work. The value of a business degree is affirmed by the success of the College’s 15,500 bachelor’s and 3,300 master’s degree recipients. Many of the College of Business graduates have attained senior management status in business or government and have become owners of small businesses. A member of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the College of Business is fully accredited at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Fewer than 5 percent of the 16,000 schools worldwide granting business degrees earn and maintain this honor (https://bestbizschools.aacsb.edu/aacsb-accredited). This accreditation provides students with assurance that they are receiving the quality education needed in today’s competitive job market, and can make the necessary difference when beginning a career.

A cornerstone of the undergraduate program is professional development. To develop as business professionals, students will be required to participate in activities designed to connect them to area businesses, including a required internship. Many of these activities will occur outside of the classroom and outside regular class hours.
