Mission statement

In the Bryan School of Business & Economics, we are committed to educational accessibility and social mobility. We create and disseminate knowledge about the theory and practice of business in an environment that values and promotes diversity and equity through a culture of inclusiveness and belonging. In addition to our courses and research, we accomplish this through hands-on projects, global experiences, and outreach to the community. Our work produces principled leaders and exceptional problem solvers who have a global perspective, an innovative mindset, a broad understanding of sustainability, and a commitment to improve the organizations in which they work and the communities in which they live.
