Curriculum

The Department of Management and Accountancy provides students the opportunity to pursue undergraduate major programs in Management and Accounting. The Department’s mission is to develop lifelong learners who are effective communicators and who understand that learning is a collaborative, reflective process that requires the integration of knowledge from many sources. The faculty supports this mission through excellent teaching, scholarly activity, and service to the university, the local community, the state, and their profession. Our students and graduates support our mission through active learning, research, and participation in service to the university, our local community, and the state of North Carolina. The distinctive setting within a public liberal arts university contributes to a focus on the human element as part of the management decision making process. Students are encouraged to develop a respect for integrity, an understanding of diversity, and an awareness of the importance of globalization as part of the discipline of management. Our small size facilitates intellectual interaction among students and faculty, and active learning enables students to become effective contributors to both their professional and social environments.

The Department’s major programs in business are accredited by AACSB International—the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
