Financial Information

Several elements contribute key funding sources to the School of Business.

The School of Business, like almost all public higher education institutions, faces major financial challenges. The school is concentrating on reducing costs whenever possible, achieving better financial performance in programs that return revenue to the School of Business (Enterprise MBA programs and Executive Education), creating new revenue-generating opportunities, pursuing additional


 

private support and earning increased external support for faculty research. Over time, we must develop more synergies between our program areas to maximize our resource base. Finding new revenue streams is essential to maintaining quality, as faculty costs continue to rise in the marketplace due to high demand for business education.
