Mission
The Marketing BBA program will provide students with the capabilities, knowledge, skills and training that is necessary to excel in the theory and practice of marketing and thereby, to succeed in attaining and maintaining leadership roles in marketing and its sister disciplines. To fulfill this primary role, we seek to hire, develop and maintain a cadre of world-class, distinguished faculty, who through their fundamental, path-breaking and pioneering research, will constantly advance the breadth and depth of knowledge in the field of marketing. We envision that our faculty will not only educate and inspire our high-potential students to pursue, excellence in the field of marketing, but we also envision that this same faculty will lead the field of marketing, by serving as thought leaders, pioneers, trail-blazers, researchers and scholars, in the various sub-specialties of marketing in which state-of-the-art research is carried out in the field of marketing today.

The HU School of Business follows a comprehensive and multi-faceted assurance of learning process in accordance with AACSB standards. All degree programs are assessed by direct measures on the “Business School Core Competencies” and respective “program learning goals” created by Department faculty. Assessment questions are created by faculty and distributed by the Office of the Associate Dean to seniors at the end of their matriculation. The Office of the Associate Dean then reports the data to the Department faculty, who will review and identify any improvement strategies based on the desired target. After implementation, and alongside any surveys determined necessary to any stakeholders, the Office of the Associate Dean will again send the original assessment questions to seniors at the end of their matriculation. Occurring on a staggered, 5-year cycle, this plan “closes the loop” in the year-to-year continuous improvement but also closes the larger “loop” by assessing across the 4-year matriculation cycle.
