Student success

The College of Business Administration takes great pride in our academic program

that prepares students for careers or advanced studies. In fact, more than
90 percent of College of Business Administration students find placement in professional jobs, graduate school or professional schools like medical, law or dental schools after graduation. In order to continue to provide students with necessary qualifications for the workforce, we must seek ways to compensate our students who are bearing the burden of increasing tuition costs. By establishing a scholarship, you will invest in the education of our deserving students and future leaders.

Facilities support

Calvin Hall, home of the College of Business Administration, has been renovated and updated through the generosity of alumni and friends. The building, however, simply cannot accommodate more students and faculty. The need for an addition to the south side of Calvin Hall is crucial — classes are full, and students must meet in other buildings on campus. The proposed east addition would provide a lecture hall seating more than 150 students, study labs and faculty offices. Along with a necessary expansion of facilities, continued upgrading of technology is essential. All classrooms must have multimedia and high-tech capabilities. Private support for technology and building renovation, maintenance and upkeep will enable our college to provide our faculty, staff and students a safe, accessible, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment.

Faculty development

Outstanding faculty members produce outstanding graduates. This belief has driven the college to work diligently to develop a faculty of student-centered, academically gifted scholars. Decreasing state funding requires the college to enhance programs to help us create a culture and environment that energizes our faculty and our students toward higher levels of excellence. Gifts that support our faculty will make a difference in the college’s ability to compensate faculty members.
