Mission: The College of Business gathers, develops and disseminates educational and research programs of excellence demanded by our rapidly changing, information-driven, global community.
Four key priorities drive the strategic initiatives of the College of Business, providing a common thread across sub-disciplines and enhancing the accomplishment of our mission. Our strategic initiatives are cross-disciplinary and build on the foundation of these key priorities – guiding recruiting decisions, intellectual contributions, curriculum development, alliances, and internal support processes.
- Business Ethics and Social Responsibility
- Impactful Research
- Global Orientation
- Sustainable Enterprise
Current strategic initiatives include
the Master Teacher Initiative,
the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative,
ITeach Resources, and the
Global Business School Network. Future initiatives will further enhance the College’s priorities.
