Faculty Profile

All CBA courses are taught by full-time or part-time faculty members. Effective teaching includes challenging students through a variety of teaching methods. We rely heavily upon case method, seminar presentation and discussion, problem method, skills performance (oral and written) methods, and discussion method, in addition to traditional lectures. We use these methods to achieve our goals to:
  • Involve the students actively in their own education, requiring preparation and performance.

  • Instill in students the ability to educate themselves as a life-long habit.

  • Prepare students to more effectively and quickly bridge the gap to competent business leadership.

The college provides students with a basis in solid management skills (critical thinking, problem solving, communications, computing and specific functional competencies), people 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. 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.
