Info

• On-line programs in business are expanding. As these programs get better recognized and perhaps accredited, demand for in-person education could decline. • National and regional business school programs are moving into the area. − Bethel University recently started a weekend/online MBA program in Duluth, and Saint Mary’s University and the College of St. Scholastica have started MBA programs in Duluth. • The Carlson School is doubling the size of its undergraduate business program. Since there has been pent-up demand for entrance into the Carlson School over the years, it is possible that some of our better students might start at, or transfer into, the Carlson School. • The high school cohort is shrinking. This trend is troubling for all higher education institutions, and there is no reason to expect that LSBE would be impacted more or less than business schools at other universities. C.

Our Statement In the spirit of continuous improvement, LSBE has revised its mission statement as appropriate. Our current mission statement, unanimously approved November 15, 2007 by the LSBE Senate, reads as follows: 1. Mission Our mission is to contribute to the intellectual and personal growth and development of individuals to enhance their competence in business and management. We achieve our mission through teaching, intellectual contributions, and service activities. Our primary focus is on undergraduate teaching. We offer high-quality undergraduate programs to students primarily from Minnesota. Additionally, we offer part-time evening and weekend MBA programs to practitioners in selected regions in Minnesota. Our secondary focus is on intellectual contributions. We place primary emphasis on discipline-based intellectual __ 6
contributions, but also value contributions to teaching and practice. We also provide community, professional, and institutional service and outreach with an emphasis on community service and outreach and the interface of these activities with teaching and intellectual contributions. 2. Vision Our vision is to be recognized as a School with a first-rate faculty that provides rigorous, demanding undergraduate and graduate programs in business and management, as well as quality intellectual contributions and outreach programs. We will achieve this vision by having our faculty, students and staff demonstrate mutual respect for one another and by providing educational opportunities for a diverse student body.
