The mission of the College of Business and Public Management is to provide our undergraduate and graduate students with a broad-based management education that emphasizes the application of theory to management practice and builds conceptual skills and core values needed to become effective leaders and managers in today’s changing global environment.

We support this mission by providing relevant curriculum that capitalizes on our liberal arts traditions, focuses on effective decision-making, and emphasizes the knowledge, skills, and values needed in a culturally diverse workplace. In addition, we are committed to continuous quality improvement, applied scholarly pursuits, and assisting the business, governmental, non-profit professional, and academic communities.
