Pillars of Success

Launched as the School of Administrative Studies in 1972, the College of Business was renamed the William G. Rohrer College of Business in June of 2005 following a $10-million gift from the William G. Rohrer Charitable Foundation.

The Rohrer College of Business (RCB) vision and mission align with the broader institution’s four pillars, drive key RCB strategies and decisions, and help to differentiate us. The RCB builds student success using 4 pillars of success. These pillars help structure student education and professional growth through Strong Academics, Leadership Opportunities, Project Based Learning, and Internships.

The RCB is one of a handful of business schools in the nation to hold accreditations from AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) for its business programs and a separate accreditation from the Computing Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) for its MIS program. To achieve this prestigious accreditation, the business program successfully demonstrated a wide range of quality standards relating to curriculum, faculty resources, admissions, degree requirements, facilities, financial resources, and intellectual climate.

Rohrer’s Business Program delivers a dynamic, well-rounded education that integrates core business knowledge with essential skills in communication, analytics, technology, and teamwork. The curriculum is built on three pillars: general education, a rigorous business core, and a focused area of specialization.

Our curriculum prepares students for immediate career entry, long-term leadership growth, and advanced study. Through internships and real-world professional experiences, students graduate with the practical skills, adaptability, and market readiness needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving business environment.
