CBA professor

About Our Faculty

All CBA courses are taught by full-time or part-time faculty members, who employ a number of teaching approaches to:

  • involve the students actively in their own education, requiring preparation and performance;

  • instill in students the desire to make learning a life-long habit; and

  • prepare students to be competent and responsible business leaders.

The college provides students with:

  • a basis in solid management skills (critical thinking, problem solving, communications, computing and specific functional competencies),

  • interpersonal skills (compassion, self-confidence, tolerance), and

  • ethical skills (responsibility, truthfulness and respectfulness).

Exposure to business practitioners (in and out of the classroom) assists in achieving these goals.

In addition, the college introduces students to a basic understanding of professionalism, public service responsibilities and the roles of business in society.

Further, the college emphasizes creativity, open-mindedness and diverse cultural perspectives.
