A Message From the Dean
Welcome to the School of Business!
The James T. George School of Business is committed to shaping ethical, knowledgeable, and career-ready leaders for today’s evolving global marketplace.
From their first year, students dive into hands-on learning—case competitions, corporate networking, leadership conferences, and tailored study-abroad experiences—guided by faculty who challenge them to excel and take charge of their academic and professional growth.
Our strong partnerships with organizations across many industries give students a powerful advantage. Rather than simply sharing résumés, we build lasting relationships with firms that engage with our students early and often. Weekly Corporate Day events bring multiple companies to campus for meaningful interaction, helping students strengthen essential skills and secure impactful internships that lead to career success.
Students can expect to be challenged beyond the classroom and anticipate having “options and not issues” upon graduation!”
