Faculty members in the Department of Business, Accounting, and Economics bring to the undergraduate and graduate classrooms doctoral degrees from highly regarded universities, appropriate professional certifications, a distinguished record of publications and presentations in their academic discipline, and enriching experiences in the corporate world, consulting, and government.  Classes blend theory and practice and challenge students to learn concepts and to apply them through case studies and computer-based simulations.  With faculty members engaged in on-going research, consulting, and managing private practices, our classes and extra-curricular learning opportunities remain contemporary in a dynamic business environment.
