Amplifications:

To Our Students:

The College of Business and Engineering seeks to create an academic environment in which teaching and learning are emphasized and enhanced through distance learning and instructive innovations. We value each student as an individual and will provide that personalized attention to all qualified students from admission, through classes and on to their professional career recruitment. All programs, while specifically geared to meet the uniqueness of our traditional and nontraditional students, will ensure all of our graduates are competitive in the global economy.

To Our Faculty and Staff:

The College of Business and Engineering seeks to foster continuous professional growth for our faculty and staff. We are dedicated to assisting our faculty and staff in remaining marketable—the best faculty members a university can have are those that would be sought by other universities. Thus, the College of Business and Engineering sees its responsibility as keeping these highly qualified professionals motivated to stay. Through their motivation, the College of Business and Engineering will be recognized as a center of excellence. Efforts of our faculty and appropriate rewards thereby will be focused proportionately in three key areas:

Teaching 40-60%

Service 15-25%
