Mission Statement
The JMU College of Business aspires to be one of the best
undergraduate programs in the United States. Its mission is to emphasize
excellence and continuous improvement in undergraduate learning and to provide
quality niche graduate programs.
The college’s undergraduate programs are based on solid
foundations in general education and an integrated business core curriculum.
Beyond these foundations, the college offers students a wide variety of programs
that emphasize theory, application and experiential learning in a business
discipline. It encourages faculty to take an active role in innovative
curriculum development and assessment designed to improve the educational
experience.
In support of its emphasis on quality education, the college
strives to enhance faculty involvement in theoretical and applied research and
in service activities that contribute to the college, the university, the
community, as well as relevant professional associations at the local,
regional, national and international levels. To strengthen its ties to the
business community, the college supports several external outreach centers.
