E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration

Vision

The Wall College of Business will be recognized as a school of choice for value added undergraduate and master’s level business programs based in public universities in the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.

Mission Statement

The mission of the E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration is to guide and educate each student in the development of valuable skills for a successful career in a globally competitive and diverse environment.

With a particular focus on four critical components in order to sustain and enact this mission, the Wall College will:

Educate STUDENTS in critical thinking, communication, and professionalism through applied and experiential learning using a variety of teaching techniques and innovative technologies.
Develop, maintain, and execute a CURRICULUM emphasizing the integration of business functions in order to provide students with a complete and unified understanding of business.
Develop FACULTY intellectual capital by creating a portfolio of diversified intellectual contributions in applied, basic/discovery, integrative/interdisciplinary, and pedagogical (teaching and learning) scholarship.
Offer service to the larger COMMUNITY that utilizes and further enhances faculty expertise. Such efforts will, in turn, expand and enhance opportunities for students through cooperative research, internships, or improved course and curriculum design.
