The College of Business Administration
provides quality educational, research, and service programs
to advance the economic, social, and technological well-being
of the surrounding region and the success of our students,
faculty, business community, and other stakeholders.
Objectives
To accomplish its
mission, the CBA has adopted the following objectives,
which are consistent with the university's urban, regional

by research and service, in that order. Research and service
are designed to complement teaching and to create a synergy
among all three activities. This synergy enhances the

our students. Specific objectives are summarized below:
