College Learning Goals

Graduates of our business degree programs should be able to demonstrate:

  • Fundamental business concepts and analytical and technical knowledge
  • An integrated and global business perspective
  • Social responsibility and ethics
  • Communication, collaboration, and continuous improvement

As the business environment becomes more complex, the College of Business provides contemporary educational experiences of high quality in order to prepare students to face the challenges of a dynamic world and to meet their responsibilities within a global society. To achieve these goals, we provide career-oriented programs, employing current knowledge and techniques presented in a manner appropriate to the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our students.

The College of Business is divided into six academic departments: Accounting, Economics and Business Analytics, Finance, Management, Marketing, and Sport Management.

Through the Graduate School, the College of Business offers an M.B.A. program, an Executive M.B.A. program, and master's degree programs in a number of other business fields. Master of science degrees are offered in sport management and taxation. In addition, more than a dozen graduate certificates are available for students who seek a short graduate curriculum concentrated in a specific business area.
