College of Business Administration Mission Statement:
The
mission of the College of Business is excellence in the advancement
and dissemination of knowledge consistent with the needs of
students, business, faculty and society.
Principles
To
accomplish the stated mission, faculty members strive for
quality in their intellectual contributions, teaching and
service activities.
- Intellectual contributions include basic and applied scholarship
and instructional development. These activities support and
foster continuous improvement in teaching and hence are inseparable
from it. The College, therefore, places major and approximately
equal emphasis on intellectual contributions and teaching,
while providing sufficient flexibility to accommodate the
unique objectives of individual departments. Service receives
relatively minor emphasis.
- Within the area of intellectual contributions, a balance is
sought between basic scholarship, applied scholarship and
instructional development, while again providing sufficient
flexibility to accommodate the unique objectives of each department.
These contributions address both domestic and global market
environments and are disseminated in the classroom, scholarly
and applied journals, professional conferences, books and
continuing education courses.
- Quality teaching goes beyond merely emphasizing a body of
knowledge. Faculty members help students develop a sense of
values; an appreciation of the diversity of their world; an
ability to work with others and to communicate effectively;
the skill to solve complex and ambiguous problems; and a belief
in lifelong learning.
- To maintain the high quality of the degree programs, members
of the faculty and administration continuously review and
improve the academic programs in accordance with the principles
above.
