Greetings, and thank you for your interest in our School of Business programs. The Davis School of Business (DSB) builds upon the “Teacher-Scholar Model.” Our faculty strives to be excellent teachers while incorporating their research into lectures, students’ projects, and other activities that develop the skills and competencies demanded by today’s organizations and businesses. Most full-time faculty have terminal degrees (PhDs, Doctoral Degree, Juris Doctors, etc.) in their areas of expertise. Moreover, more than 70% of our faculty have professional-practitioner experiences in their domains.
Many potential students and parents ask me what makes CMU and the Davis Business School an excellent choice to pursue their higher education. As indicated before, our professors and staff give special importance to the learning experience our students receive. Our faculty develop their courses using “student-centered approaches,” incorporating experiential learning, service-learning, internship, traditional lecturing, and inquiry-based learning, among many others, into their pedagogy. Additionally, our clubs and student organizations are the perfect companion in the educational journey here in Grand Junction.
Our school of business is in the later stages of pursuing the AACSB initial accreditation. During this process, our school has engaged in a continuous improvement process adopting several best practices and standards followed by some of the most recognized business schools worldwide. We continuously prepare business leaders and professionals that demonstrate strong ethical principles, superior critical thinking, effective communication, and robust business acumen.
The quality of our programs is supported by the incredible job placement our alumni receive. Many past students work now for multinationals, local firms, and government agencies. A large number also decide to pursue their entrepreneurial ideas. Employer feedback indicates that we are doing the right things.
I invite you to carefully review our business programs and concentrations, including our fully online MBA program. Although we offer most courses face to face and online, the school offers a fully online Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in management. This concentration is often the preferred choice for students who are currently working and want to complete their higher education in a way that accommodates their existing schedule.
Now, when you are considering your future career and personal development, multiple questions may come to your mind. Please feel free to contact our Davis School of Business faculty or email our staff at [email protected] so that we can entertain those questions or route you properly in the right direction.
Sincerely,
Dr. Suzanne Owens-Ott
Professor of Accounting
Interim Academic Head for the Davis School of Business
