Vision and Mission

Vision

To be a first choice business school for enterprising students and discerning employers, a research hub, and an economic catalyst for the region and beyond.

Mission

We empower a diverse population of students to achieve sustainable careers, focusing on real-world immersion, entrepreneurial thinking, and responsible leadership, supported by relevant faculty research and teaching excellence.

We achieve our mission through a commitment to -

• A Diverse Population - We seek to grow and nurture a diverse community of students and faculty, promoting equity and inclusion and preparing students for the global, multicultural environment in which they will live and do business.
• Sustainable Careers - We graduate students with the solid disciplinary expertise, poise, and professionalism necessary to excel in their first positions and the skills to tackle new opportunities as technologies and business models evolve.
• Real-world Immersion - We provide multiple real-world immersion experiences for our students that set them apart in a crowded job market. Combined with our commitment to the region's economic development, we actively engage with the business and nonprofit communities in ways that benefit all.
• Entrepreneurial Thinking - We offer entrepreneurially focused curricular and co-curricular programs to help students develop the creativity, agility, initiative, and persistence that characterize the entrepreneurial mindset. 
• Responsible Leadership/Societal Impact - As a PRME founding signatory, we are committed to developing students' abilities to act ethically and generate sustainable value for their employers and society.
• Relevant Faculty Research - We align with the University's applied research focus, including activities that positively impact the educational experience, the scholarly community, and the region's economic vitality.
• Teaching Excellence - We are committed to student-centric teaching and flexible delivery modes designed to facilitate and motivate learner passion, engagement, and self-responsibility. We seek to foster the knowledge, skills, and lifelong learning mindset necessary for success in a rapidly changing world.
