Values and Beliefs
The Neidorff School of Business believes in:
Building preferred hires
Because superior students contribute to better learning and are more successful after graduation, the business program should aim to produce graduates who are “preferred hires” by attracting and engaging competent and highly motivated students.
Engaging, innovating programs
A superior business program should be innovative, engaging and have significant experiential, ethical and international components.
Travel and Study Abroad
The experience of traveling and studying abroad enhances maturity and independence in students.
Meaningful collaboration
Meaningful collaboration among members of the School and other academic programs, the Administration, and members of the business community results in a stronger curriculum and a better learning experience for students.
Courses and opportunities for everyone
Business students derive value from taking courses in the liberal arts and sciences; in turn, non-business students derive value from taking courses in business.
Research
Productivity in research and a passion for teaching are necessary to be an outstanding faculty member.
Outstanding Faculty
High-quality business programs have outstanding faculty members, strong administration and a modern curriculum and accompanying capital base.
