The curriculum at the School of Business is designed to ensure our students are prepared for successful careers in business throughout their lives. Students and those outside the academic community are often surprised to learn that we change the content of courses, the courses within programs, and other aspects of the curriculum we offer. The reason for the changes are simple. Business changes, and the environment in which business takes place changes. Our faculty and others perform research that leads to new insights and discoveries about how to take advantage of new opportunities or fend off threats. Updating curriculum to reflect these changes is necessary to prepare our graduates for their chosen professions.

Our Board of Visitors, comprised of business practitioners in a variety of industries and people active in a variety of capacities helps direct the changes we make in our curriculum. What better resource than those working in the changing business environment who apply the principles we teach in our courses? This august group, in cooperation with our faculty who have extensive education and vast practical experience as well, we constantly evaluate our curriculum and change it to match current business practices, and make full use of predicted or expected changes.

 

In 2003, the State of Pennsylvania honored the top 50 Business Women in the state with an award. We are exceedingly proud to note that two of these business women are on our Board of Visitors.
