College of Business

Teaching, research, and community service are the essential activities of the College of Business. All three activities are aimed at enhancing the college's scholarly environment and strengthening relationships with the business community. The emphasis on excellence in the performance of these cornerstone activities enables the college to offer an outstanding business education for students over a broad spectrum of interest, age, and experience.

Since its origination in 1965, the College of Business has been one of the fastest growing business schools in the nation. This growth has mirrored the dynamic growth of the D/FW Metroplex as the college has worked hard to provide high quality educational programs. The college is organized into six academic departments: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Information Systems and Operations Management, Management, and Marketing. A total of 103 full-time equivalent faculty organize and conduct classes, including 88 with doctoral degrees from some of the top schools in the nation. The college currently enrolls 5,500 students, of whom more than 1,500 are enrolled in 12 graduate business programs.

Graduate Business Services (GBS) provides information to assist students with various issues relating to their graduate business education. Prospective students, current students and graduating students can contact GBS for general information, assistance with understanding graduate program rules and admission status. Specific advising questions are addressed to the program advisor.

The Goolsby Leadership Academy was established in 2003 with a gift from an anonymous donor in honor of John and Judy Goolsby. John Goolsby is a 1964 graduate of the College of Business with a degree in accounting. Much of his executive career was spent as CEO of the Howard Hughes Corporation. The mission of the Academiy is to educate the nation’s future leaders and ensure they are prepared for the multiple, myriad challenges and opportunities they will face. The Academy is focused on the tenets of personal integrity and “strength based” leadership. Simply put, strength based leadership involves building on the strengths that the individual already possesses, to enhance their leadership skills and abilities. Today’s current and emerging leaders need to understand how to apply and reap the benefits of leadership strategies and practices. The Goolsby Leadership Academy currently provides a select group of undergraduate students with rigorous training in:

  • Developing innate leadership skills
  • Management and decision making
  • Emotional intelligence and motivation
  • Ethics and personal integrity
  • Goal setting and outcome measurement
  • Performance measurement and employee evaluation
  • Group dynamics and team building

As part of their major course work, Goolsby students receive customized leadership education designed to transform leadership potential into leadership reality. At the heart of the student development experience are leadership courses, testing to help each student identify their own leadership strengths and challenges, specialized preparation for entering the work force, and extensive interaction with leading executives from the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex.
