A Message from the Dean

The mission of the School of Business is to impart undergraduate business education, to synthesize theory and practice in the classroom, seek first hand exposure to best business practices and improve faculty performance as educators through research. 

 

To achieve our mission we are committed to nurture the success of a challenged student while fully challenging the exceptional student through an interactive culture of learning. We provide students with a clear set of ethical and professional behavior expectations through a curriculum that exposes students to meaningful real-world applications, by imparting the imperative for life-long learning through a process of student-initiated and unstructured learning that is central to professional advancement. 

 

The School of Business believes in forging partnerships that enable us as business educators to maintain our scholarship and understanding of leading-edge organizational practice.  We also believe in advancing our communities through partnerships that employ our professional skills.  We ask that our students be competent in critical thinking and self-reflection, team building, leadership, and professional communications skills.  Our students acquire technology and cross-disciplinary skills to help them understand and develop ethical, global business and non-business discipline insights for enhanced business decision-making. 

 

Students admitted to Langston University are not automatically admitted to the School of Business.  Students wishing to take a major in the School of Business must apply for admission to the School at the beginning of the second semester of their sophomore year or as soon as they have completed the specific course requirements contained in the Student Handbook.  Conditions for acceptance are spelled out in the School of Business Student Handbook under “Admissions”.  Students who meet the minimum acceptance criteria, shall be officially admitted to the School of Business and will be so notified during the summer and assigned an advisor.

 

The School is organized into two departments:
