Departments and Faculty
The school's organization encourages empowerment across its constituent faculty through the disaggregation of responsibilities into departments. Departments work collaboratively to advance the school's mission while simultaneously working independently toward creating a specific niche and distinctive competencies to ensure student and stakeholder success within the areas that are overseen.
Each department includes faculty members from all campus locations where the School of Management delivers its academic programs. This ensures a broad and diverse set of perspectives that impact positively on (a) curriculum development that includes a strong and uniform core component that forms the common experience for all students, regardless of location, and (b) highly contextualized curriculum elements embedded throughout the courses that are localized to the specific needs of the local business community where the program is delivered.
Vision and Mission Statements
The School of Management mission to "provide high quality, career-advancing business education opportunities within the context of a dynamic, technologically enabled, and global business environment," supports the school's vision to "be a preeminent and distinguishable leader among institutions of higher education in the provision of internationally based academic business programs."
School of Management Assurance of Learning
All students and organizations expect assurance that graduates of the School of Management are achieving the program's stated learning goals. In this spirit, the educational approach taken is one that is outcomes-based. Student learning outcomes are created across every course to validate and support the achievement of programmatic, concentration-specific, and course-level learning goals. These outcomes also strengthen the student's ability to make value-adding contributions to an organization.
Moreover, as previously mentioned, course-level learning goals and related outcomes for each class are designed to include invariant, contextual, and instructor-specific categories. In this way students receive learning experiences that are uniform across sections (invariant), globalized (contextual), and niche specific (instructor-specific), focusing on the specific domain expertise of the instructor.
The School of Management continually updates its curriculum so that it is both contemporary and competitive. Outcomes assessment is continuous, and inputs from students and all stakeholders are utilized to both revise academic programs as well as externally reference the curriculum for relevancy.
