Teaching Philosophy

High-quality instruction involves the active participation of students in the learning process and provides them with opportunities to apply conceptual frameworks to the solution of live, case-based and/or simulated business problems. The educational process should achieve the curricular goals of the School of Business as well as the specific goals of the students' major program.

The curricular goals of the School of Business call for educating students so that they can perform effectively in a global business environment and respond to the challenges posed by a demographically diverse workforce. They must be proficient in the use of information technology, able to recognize ethical issues, and make ethical business decisions. They must be able to communicate effectively both orally and in writing, be able to work effectively in teams, and successfully lead others. Graduates of the School of Business should be able to analyze business problems from a multi-disciplinary perspective and be able to apply the appropriate quantitative and non-quantitative conceptual frameworks necessary to solve them. Finally, graduates should have the skills to continue learning throughout their careers.
