Vision
Southeastern will offer students an evolving array of both traditional and distinctive business programs that prepare them for meaningful careers, lives, and service in a rapidly changing world.
Mission Statement
The John Massey School of Business will prepare a diverse population of learners for meaningful careers and service by providing innovative business education, impactful research, and global engagement to the students, faculty, and community it serves.
Foundation and Principles
- Student-centered: Our highest priority is our students. We recognize that our students’ future success is the measure of our success.
- Learning organization: We recognize the dynamic nature of business. The faculty must be active in both teaching and learning. One of the most important goals for faculty is the development of scholarly output that enhances student learning and is validated by peers.
- Respect for ideas: We support an environment that encourages open and responsible expression. A commitment to life-long learning begins with a willingness to consider new ideas.
- Leadership by example: To prepare students for a competitive global environment, we must set high standards for both students and faculty. The quality of faculty activities is judged by the impact they have on important constituencies, including students, business practitioners, and other academics.
- Market responsive: Our programs should anticipate and respond to changes in society and the business environment.
- Innovation: To respond to change, we must support innovation and intelligent risk-taking. We recognize that innovation and creativity require both a period of experimentation and a process of evaluation.
- Collaborative efforts: We support collaborative and integrative activities that transcend functional disciplines and address significant issues.
- Intellectual leadership: The John Massey School of Business should develop areas of recognized expertise. Academic, aviation, and business professionals should look to the John Massey School of Business for leadership in these areas.
- Regional Emphasis: We recognize the unique opportunity available through partnerships with Native American Tribes and related businesses. Our business programs will be enhanced by addressing their needs, concerns, and aspirations.
- Resources: We recognize that programs should drive resources instead of resources driving programs, and that the business school must develop resources beyond university budgets.
- Diversity: To be effective in an increasingly diverse global environment, our students must learn about and from other points of view and cultures.
