Chair's Message

The Department of Management, Marketing and Public Administration is committed to developing future leaders and managers who are adaptable, flexible and creative.  Our mission is to prepare our diverse undergraduate and graduate student population with professional skills that will allow them to compete technically and professionally in the global work force.

Evidence indicates that our students are highly successful in gaining meaningful employment in their chosen fields.  We are proud of the fact that they are also successful in achieving upward mobility in their professional careers.  Graduates are highly visible in the corporate, public and nonprofit sectors of the work force throughout this region, and across the nation.  A number of our students are from international origins, thus, some return to their respective countries to assume prominent positions.

The Department of Management, Marketing and Public Administration (MMPA) is part of the new College of Business.  It is located on the campus in the Center for Business and Graduate Studies, Room 2323.
