  2. CSUSB’s Vision A word from our CSUSB President • “…The overarching and unifying goal of the university is to excel as a learning institution that offers students the skills, experiences, and insights they need to be successful at the next stage of their lives.” • “Earning a college degree is a genuine achievement – one that requires commitment, hard and smart work, and sacrifice…” President Albert K. Karnig Coyote Communiqué (June 16, 2011) CSUSB’s Vision: The university will serve the region, state, and nation by preparing leaders for the 21st century with a global outlook and the skills needed for educational, social, economic, political, environmental and cultural advancement.

  3. CBPA’s Vision A word from our CBPA Dean Business schools exist to enhance the development and distribution of knowledge to its students. This requires close engagement with our business stakeholders; having them connect with students and academic staff to ensure our students are fit for purpose. As we’re faced with world changes at an ever increasing rate, we must deliver appropriate business knowledge and capabilities to our students for them to remain competitive as well as for our business stakeholders. Sustainable competitive advantage for a business school is no longer about providing basic discipline specific skills like Accounting and Finance, we must also contribute to the creation of high-level skills like critical thinking, global perspective, ethical practices, creativity and innovation talent, communication ability, including the ability to be aware of how one impacts the world around themselves. As such we’re a place where students can be exposed to new possibilities and prepare to meet the challenges which will face them upon graduation. Lawrence C. Rose, Ph.D.Dean, CBPA College of Business and Public Administration A word from our CBPA Dean Our Public Administration colleagues are also confronted with challenges in the face of the global financial crisis. In addition to addressing issues around social, economic, and political factors, a public administrator’s stakeholder is much more diverse than the business stakeholder. Yet, in our College, all departments and units face many of the same challenges as leaders in public or private institutions – that is seeking ways to be successful. However, having a College with many capabilities to address the issues facing these organizations should allow us to take a lead in the region and make an impact on our key community partners through providing an education workforce, applied research solutions and training opportunities.

  4. Meeting the goal We’d like to share with you how our College meets the goals set before us in a number of ways. We’ll look at the following: • College acknowledgements for CBPA (including the MBA and MPA programs) • Department acknowledgements (including the MSA program) • Centers and Institute acknowledgements • Support Services Offices (Undergraduate and Graduate Advising and Career Services) • Distinctions on Student Teams/Organizations • Honor / Scholastic Societies • Student Organizations • The Internship Program for CBPA (part of the new Support Services Offices) • CBPA’s Development Office – We’re grateful to the Development Director and his very capable Development Assistant for their efforts in promoting the College’s accomplishments and stellar programs. Both Phillip Bolda and Shelly Brown work closely with Dean Lawrence Rose and his advisory board - CBPA’s Business Alliance to get the message out to students, business, public administration leaders, and other interested parties in the Inland Empire and beyond.

  5. Meeting the goal So how does the College of Business and Public Administration meet its goals and that of the university’s to its students? What are they known for? AACSB Accreditation: The College of Business and Public Administration’s undergraduate and graduate business programs are fully accredited by theAssociation to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), a distinction earned by less than 10% of all business schools internationally! NASPAA Accreditation: The Public Administration program is accredited by the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA). They’re also the first department within CBPA to offer its M.P.A. program degree on line. Quite an accomplishment! Next, the College is listed by Princeton Review as “a best 294 business school”. "We’re pleased to recommend CSUSB to readers of our book and users of our web site as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA," said Robert Franek, Princeton Review Vice President-Publishing."We select schools for this book based on our high regard for their academic programs and offerings, institutional data we collect from the schools, and the candid opinions of students attending them who rate and report on their campus experiences at the schools." The M.B.A program was also recognized as one of the best colleges by U.S. News. The mission of the M.B. A program is to offer a high-quality master’s level education. Central to their vision is preparing tomorrow’s business leaders. Their study abroad programs provide students the opportunity to experience other cultures and to learn with M.B.A. counterparts in other parts of the world.
