Homecoming weekend is traditionally a time to remember where we have been and where we are going. This year, the School of Business had our first MBA Alumni homecoming meet and greet. After delicious food and networking, Dean Bezjian addressed the attendees about the exciting new developments in the Business department.
She reminded us that our MBA program began in 1983. Since then we have grown from only fifteen MBA students to two hundred. In 1993, APU faculty had published one article, and now has published six books, fifty journal articles, and twenty-two research papers.
The School of Business continues to build prestige with the success of SIFE and the development of the new Deal Scholarship. For the speaker series this semester, APU has hosted Ron Kelleher, Brad Ames, and Reed Dickens. We look forward to hosting Steve McKee on November 12.
The new economics major has met great success, becoming our fastest-growing major. We are also looking forward to two new business graduate programs: the Masters in Marketing and the Millennial MBA.
We are in review for AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business) accreditation. APU will be the third Christian school in the U.S. to share in this honor, joining Abilene Christian University and Seattle Pacific University. The School of Business was the first at APU with faith integration at the graduate level. Through our developments and successes, we continue to put God First in our department.
