College of Business Faculty

A rewarding education starts with experienced faculty who care about their students’ success and class sizes that enable students to connect with their classmates and professors. Our classes are taught by experienced faculty, not graduate students or teaching assistants. Getting to know your professors, and having comfort in seeking their input on projects or talking through lessons is a key part of getting the most out of your education.

A Community of Educators, Practitioners, and Scholars

Our more than 50 full-time and more than 100 part-time faculty are scholars, authors, published researchers, professional organization leaders, and mentors to their students. Their collective academic, educational, government, and industry experience enriches our students, their employers, and our community.
