Collaboration skills differentiate people because they lead to creative solutions and effective implementation; building such skills has been called the investment of the decade. Our students learn collaboration skills through completing team projects and simulations in nearly every core course, mentoring others, and working in 18 student organizations. Since technology is a key enabler of collaboration, students learn leading edge electronic tools from the first course through the final capstone.

Distinctive programs offer opportunities for students to differentiate themselves through a combination of engaging courses, student competitions, and internships that allow organizational application. Such programs cross all areas: the Professional Accounting Certificate; Professional Sales Certificate; Entrepreneurship Option and Minor; Sustainability Minor; SAP TERP 10 Certification Training; and Project Management Option and Minor. With streamlined prerequisites, the MBA offers a generalist degree and Options in Project Management and EIS. Our committed faculty members are the drivers and champions of these programs.

The College of Business is one of just 15 percent of all business schools worldwide that meet the high standards for accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has certified the Option in Human Resource Management as meeting its high professional standards. The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report have cited the high quality of our undergraduate and MBA programs.
