Research productivity of individual faculty members and the college must be measured in ways that can be verified. Through research and publications the CBA delivers measurable value to its constituencies. Both basic and applied research is shared with CBA partner organizations, alumni and the business community. Through instructional development research the CBA faculty create an environment in which students can develop the knowledge and skills to be effective leaders in business and communities. Engaging in research is important to achieve improvement in pedagogy and currency in topical materials.
Research also helps meet our responsibilities to improve business efficiency.
For convenience, future reference to departments in this document refers to both academic department and the School of Accountancy. The CBA also contributes its talents and insights to the university, the various local communities, and local, state, national and international professional organizations. These activities include, for example, leadership in the United Way Campaign, and professional involvement with civic organizations. CBA faculty also serve in various leadership capacities in state and national professional associations. The primary means by which the CBA provides increased access to the opportunity for a business education is through the operation of a high quality evening program.
