College of Business

Current Initiatives

1. Technology: Selected as a flagship school in 1996, our partnership with SAP allows students to be exposed to an ERP—extensive academic program that provides them with a valuable skill set that results in higher wages for students and an immediate and significant “value-add” for the employers who hire them.
2. Diversity: Due to intensive efforts to attract and retain a diverse student body, minority student enrollments in the College of Business have doubled since 1997. Support services provided by the college after enrollment help ensure successful transition through the freshman year to graduation.
3. Global Reach: Partnerships with leading universities outside of the United States prepare students to successfully navigate international business environments and expands the bandwidth of the college to the benefit of all its stakeholders. Faculty members are making major contributions in the areas of international marketing and Web site localization.
4. Ethics & Service: Students are consistently recognized at the state and national levels for their active engagement in community-service initiatives and participation in business school competitions. Current year honors include American Marketing Association Outstanding Chapter award, Students in Free Enterprise Regional Champions, and Make-a-Wish Foundation fundraising excellence.
