Greetings! It is an honor for me to be at the helm of the School of Business and Economics at Winston-Salem State University and I want all of our students, alumni, and business partners to know that we are focused on moving to the next level of greatness. We are proud to have been chosen the “2007 Educational Institution of the Year” by National Black MBA Association for our efforts to encourage graduate business education. Our students are being groomed to continue their educations, but they are also being prepared to launch careers in business, government, non-profits, and self-owned enterprises.
The School Business is a place where emphasis is placed on leadership, professionalism, and practical experiences. With a newly revised mission and strategic goals, the School is dedicated to assuring that each of its graduates epitomizes the highest levels of professionalism and that those with leadership potential have the opportunity to develop it. Our extensive network of business partnerships and affiliations means that we can provide practical experiences for all of our students, enabling them to bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world and to more effectively compete.
The MBA program continues to be a 'Triple A' success, providing full-time employees in the Piedmont Triad the opportunity to graduate from an AACSB-accredited School at an affordable price, at a location that is highly accessible. The master's degree in healthcare administration is being launched in fall 2008 and it promises to be a means by which citizens of the Triad can achieve career advancement.
Most importantly, the School of Business is a place where faculty and staff care. We strive to keep classes small in size, to encourage faculty and student interaction, and to get to know our students on a personal level. As our enrollments continue to grow, more and more students are experiencing the excellence of the School of Business and Economics.
Come visit us and learn how we be instrumental in brightening your future.
