The 1988 foundation of the School was to provide a standard business education to those well versed in technology design and control but somehow uncertain about the larger business value stream in which it is placed. In 2006 we continue with this mandate while also responding to the challenges of change. We are experimenting with delivery of special learning situations for those who design and manage cutting edge technologies, and have little patience for the security of the standard. As an example of what this means, part-time students were once considered a lesser market for business schools. Our School considers our students who daily work at the edge of change as one of our most valuable resources. They are our advanced warning system of the challenges that we have yet to prepare for, but for which we must prepare. We value them greatly. The School of Management has 26 faculty and many adjuncts to serve over 600 undergraduate and graduate students. We offer degree programs in the Bachelor of Science in Management, the Master of Science in Management, the MBA and the Executive MBA. And Executive MS. SOM was accredited by the AACSB International in 1997.  To earn this accreditation, a business school must demonstrate that it offers a high quality management education with a commitment  to continuous improvement. Only about one-third of all business scools in the United States are able to meet the AACSB's rigorous quality standards.
