  • The School has created standards for ethical, globally-aware, socially-responsible and profitable firms that regularly seek our advice and hire our students;
  • All of our students have had an international learning experience prior to graduation, and 25% of our graduates work for firms that have a global presence;
  • Peer institutions, accrediting bodies, and professional associations recognize the School for having embodied ethics and social responsibility throughout its curriculum;
  • All of our students find employment in their chosen field (or have gained admission to graduate school) within one year of graduation; fifty percent of our students move into leadership roles within 10 years of graduation;
  • Students will be highly-engaged in diverse learning experiences that result in the School consistently ranking in the top 5% of the colleges against which it benchmarks itself on the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) and/or other national survey instruments;
  • Faculty exceed the School's performance standards for teaching excellence, scholarly activity and community service based on a mutually determined focus of each member's specific talents and interests in one or more of these areas;
