院长的话

Welcome to 体育菠菜大平台’s 商学院 and 技术 (CBT).

这是我在这里的第四年, 并反思这些事件, 成就, 以及过去三年的挑战, 我很谦卑, 惊讶, 和自豪. 我很谦卑 by the tremendous support that I and the college have received throughout all we have endured, 最明显的是全球流行病. 我很惊讶我们的教员, 工作人员, 和学生 continued to do what has been necessary to meet our mission through these tremendously challenging times. 最后, I’m proud at all we have accomplished – what we’ve accomplished would be worthy of much pride even in the easiest of times.

Here is just a short list of what we’ve accomplished in the last three years: opening of the Discovery Hall, renovation of the student-run Brewed Awakening and the lower level of West Center, renovation of all or most of 8 classrooms in West Center, CBT职业衣橱的开放, nearly a complete overhaul of almost all classroom technology in both West Center and Discovery Hall, new ABET accreditation in Computer Science, reaffirmed AACSB accreditation in business, reaffirmed CIDA accreditation in Interior and Product Design, 新的AACSB会计认证, 并招聘了15名优秀员工, 新教师.

Over the past five years more than 90% of our graduates have found employment in a career tied to their major or have been accepted to graduate school. About 80% of our graduates chose to pursue a rewarding career right here in Nebraska. The CBT就业中心 deserves a lot of credit as they guide our nationally acclaimed internship program – a majority of our students complete internships for credit, more than half of them receive job offers as a result, and over two-thirds of the students accept these offers. 学生 completing internships earn starting salaries, 平均, more than 10% higher than those who forego internships.

The 商学院 and 技术 is not just about change, we are about progress. 你是否是未来的学生, 在读学生, 校友, 或者其他利益相关者, we welcome you and look forward to what we can do together!

We are nearing completion of a strategic plan that will guide the college for the next 5-7 years. I’m confident it will be bold and I’m equally as sure it will help us deliver on our mission to provide transformational career-focused programs dedicated to extraordinary student experiences and regional economic development in Nebraska. 除了我们的长期, highly respected undergraduate programs, our MBA program is growing because it delivers a unique, blended learning experience and skills development not easily duplicated through other delivery models. Recently added tracks in Cyber Security and 业务 and IT 教育 provide complementary skillsets in very high demand by employers.

我代表全体教员, 工作人员, 和学生, I want to extend a personal thanks to all of you that continue to help us on this journey. Your 投资 of time and money are making a difference. 一如既往，我们感谢您的支持.
