abroad, but places primary emphasis on the on-campus<br />

undergradu<strong>at</strong>e degree program. The undergradu<strong>at</strong>e<br />

and gradu<strong>at</strong>e curricula, along with an active approach<br />

to learning, are intended to help both business and<br />

non-business students develop the knowledge, skills,<br />

ethics, and <strong>at</strong>titudes needed for successful careers<br />

and a lifetime <strong>of</strong> learning in a technological and global<br />

environment.<br />

The College emphasizes the interrel<strong>at</strong>edness <strong>of</strong><br />

business disciplines th<strong>at</strong> prepares students for both<br />

specific functional responsibilities within larger<br />

organiz<strong>at</strong>ions and for the wide scope <strong>of</strong> responsibilities<br />

typically encountered within smaller organiz<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />

Gradu<strong>at</strong>es should be able to function effectively in entrylevel<br />

positions, advance to higher positions, particip<strong>at</strong>e<br />

in entrepreneurial ventures, and/or pursue advanced<br />

studies.<br />

The second commitment <strong>of</strong> the College is to cre<strong>at</strong>e<br />

and dissemin<strong>at</strong>e intellectual contributions which will (1)<br />

assist in the growth and development <strong>of</strong> faculty, students,<br />

and business; (2) enhance the learning environment<br />

in business schools; and (3) contribute to economic<br />

development. The College places primary emphasis on<br />

applied scholarship, but also encourages basic research<br />

and instructional development as important parts <strong>of</strong> the<br />

intellectual mission <strong>of</strong> the College.<br />

The third commitment <strong>of</strong> the College is to provide<br />

quality service to the business community, the pr<strong>of</strong>ession,<br />

and the <strong>University</strong>. In particular, the College strives<br />

for st<strong>at</strong>e and regional distinction in activities rel<strong>at</strong>ed<br />

to entrepreneurial and small business development,<br />

and business and economic research. Service nurtures<br />

programs dynamic and relevant, and promotes economic<br />

development, particularly through delivery <strong>of</strong> applied<br />

knowledge to regional organiz<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
