College of Business Values: Intellectual Growth

NACE Career Readiness Competencies


In the College of Business, Intellectual Growth stands as one of our core values. November serves as a dedicated period to spotlight NACE Career Readiness Competency: Critical Thinking. Here's what is means to us:


We value academic excellence achieved through the intellectual curiosity and growth of both faculty and students, and through the creation and maintenance of a challenging and rigorous learning environment that encourages critical thinking and life-long learning.


As we near the conclusion of the Fall semester, take a moment to reflect on the hurdles you have overcome in your classes. Consider the challenges you have faced and how you have navigated them. It it a testament to your growth and resilience. Take pride in the progress you have made and the skills you have developed, knowing that each obstacle has been an opportunity for learning and personal advancement.
