From Bloomington-Normal to Asia, the College of Business works in partnership with leading corporations and businesses of all sizes. Several advisory boards composed of regional business leaders keep the college in close touch with the latest strategies in business. In addition, business faculty members consult with business, conduct applied research that influences business thinking, and train business executives who can apply what they learn immediately to their careers and the success of their companies. A growing population of quality students, engaged and enthusiastic faculty, vital and relevant curricula, and an accomplished roster of graduates are the best evidence of the college’s success.
