A Message from the Dean

Thank you for visiting the College of Business Administration's site!  As you browse, I believe you will discover that our college has innovative programs, dedicated faculty and quality students.

The CBA has been ranked nationally:Dr. Ravi Krovi

In addition, AACSB International - the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business - has awarded the CBA the highest form of accreditation, a distinction held by less than five percent of all business schools.

Our faculty and staff are committed to fostering an environment that emphasizes student engagement and success. This is evident in several ways, including:

  • Our faculty prepare students to become competent and responsible business professionals and leaders in the global workforce.
  • Our close ties to the regional business community enable us to offer students a dynamic curriculum that is in step with the needs of business today.
  • Our graduates are highly sought after and receive competitive salaries.
  • Finally, we take pride in the accomplishments of our alumni, several of whom are in key leadership positions in major organizations.

If you are a prospective student, you have come to the right place.  Business is an exciting choice.  In today's world, business touches all kinds of organizations, including non-profits, government agencies, large corporations and small businesses. Business skills are a necessity in a variety of sectors, including health care, transportation, finance, energy and consumer goods.

This is an exciting time at the CBA.  

Come join us!
