Faculty members in the College of Business at Colorado State University provide an enriched student learning experience by offering current corporate and field experiences. This approach – combining the intellectual experience of the classroom with the practical experience of the workplace and laboratory – is based on Colorado State’s history of a land-grant institution and is especially apparent in the Professional MBA Program where our best faculty members showcase their teaching talents.
“People who enroll in College of Business MBA Programs bring a variety of career experiences and professional backgrounds to the classroom, all of which enhance learning, collaboration and personal interaction. The dynamic curriculum allows students to immediately apply many facets of the course material in the workplace. You will find the investment of time and resources will reap dividends for life.”
Vickie Bajtelsmit, PhD., Professor of Finance and Real Estate
Our faculty members continue to publish articles in what are generally regarded as the leading journals in their fields. This speaks not only to our collective ability to identify interesting and important questions, but also to our ability to design, execute and communicate research that withstands rigorous review. That means you’ll be learning from researchers and business people who are not only active in the academic world, but involved daily in the world of business.
“Students who complete my class understand the principles of marketing management and develop the skills to apply them. More importantly, they learn why these principles and skills are valuable, preparing them to handle the ongoing changes of the business world.”
Stanley F. Slater, Ph.D., Professor of Marketing
