"Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one."
Malcolm Forbes, the late publisher of Forbes, one of America's most successful business magazines. 

The Jesse H. Jones School of Business is a great place to begin your journey toward the goal and reward of a college education. Our faculty is committed to the success of our students. We endeavor to provide a quality education guaranteed to ensure success and excellence in business, government, education, and community service. Such education equips our graduates with a broad background of general knowledge and specific skills, an understanding of the social and economic foundations of a highly technical society, skill in the use of decision-making tools, and a well-defined conception in the world of business. We strongly believe that future business leaders need technical knowledge, critical-thinking skills, and the ability to communicate ideas in an increasingly global environment.

To enable our students to achieve success, our dedicated faculty use innovative pedagogical techniques, computer applications within the classroom, applied information systems technology, team projects, in-depth case analysis, group activities and presentations, class discussions, business simulations, and internet-based studies.

Our courses emphasize the quantitative and behavioral factors in management; the social, economic and physical environments both domestic and international; and the adoption and functioning of a proper code of business ethics. Special courses provide training in the identification, analysis and solution of practical problems. Desirable personality traits, which make for true business leadership are stressed and developed through teaching methods and co-curricular activities.

Additionally, involvement in student organizations, internship opportunities, and extracurricular activities emphasize continued student improvement and excellence. Our state-of-the-art $15 million building, which houses one of the most technologically advanced business school in the United States, provides students with the tools necessary to compete successfully in the fast-paced information-driven business environment.

The Jesse H. Jones School of Business is accredited by the International Association for Management Education (AACSB), indicating that our undergraduate and graduate programs are continually striving to achieve and maintain the highest standards of academic excellence. Our emphasis on quality assures students that they will develop the skills required to meet their long-term career goals.

The faculty and staff of the Jesse H. Jones School of Business take great pride in our emphasis on excellence. We invite you to consider becoming a part of our legacy.
