School of Business Faculty

School of Business faculty members have earned national reputations for their contributions to teaching, scholarly publications and for playing leading roles in professional associations. Many of our faculty also serve as consultants to industry, serve as expert witnesses and share their expertise in other ways.

 The strength of our faculty in research has long been noted.  The most recent nationwide study of business faculty research productivity ranked our faculty 14th in the U.S. overall and two of our departments —Management & Human Resources and Marketing —were ranked second in the nation.

Other examples of faculty recognition include the American Marketing Association naming Marketing Professor Jan Heide the third most influential individual in the nation in citations for marketing research and the Journal of Finance honoring Finance Professor Toni Whited for co-authoring the best paper on corporate finance to appear in the prestigious journal in 2005.
