CBA OBJECTIVES

The primary purpose of the College of Business Administration (CBA) is to provide education leading to baccalaureate and graduate degrees in business.  As such, the CBA emphasizes academic excellence in its educational programs and quality teaching.  Appropriate scholarly and service activities are instrumental in supporting the primary mission of the institution.

The CBA strives to become the undergraduate business school of choice for traditional age students in the region.  The CBA also offers opportunities for undergraduate education, graduate education, and professional development for individuals constrained by time and place.

The CBA offers business programs that prepare graduates for professional careers.  Undergraduate students will have a broad-based educational foundation in the arts, humanities, and sciences as well as meeting the CBA undergraduate curriculum goals.  Graduate students will meet the graduate curriculum learning outcomes.  

The CBA supports all forms of research.  All faculty members should be engaged in scholarly activity to expand the intellectual experiences they can share with students.

The service objectives for the CBA include service to the university and service to the community.  The CBA provides professional expertise for organizations in the area, publishes regional economic data on its web site, offers outreach programs, provides consulting services, and conducts research projects with regional applications.  These service activities can provide an opportunity for a direct connection among teaching, service, and research.

The CBA is dedicated to maintaining its regional prominence in international business.  The CBA encourages and provides support to CBA students, faculty, and staff who work, study, and teach abroad.  The CBA also strives to bring international students and faculty to campus.

The CBA cultivates a collegial, supportive organizational climate that stimulates individual achievement and contributes to the personal and professional development of students, faculty, and staff.  The college is committed to attracting and retaining highly qualified faculty members dedicated to excellence in teaching and to providing them with opportunities for continued professional development in teaching, research, and service.
