Management and Accounting
Associate Professor Stratton (Chair); Professors Manns, Yearout; Associate Professors Burris, Whitfield; Assistant Professors Clark Muntean, Roig, Shields; Lecturers Cole, Eason
The Department of Management and Accountancy provides undergraduate degree programs of excellence in accounting and management, including concentrations in business administration, marketing, and operations management. We develop lifelong learners, critical thinkers and effective communicators who understand that learning is a collaborative, reflective process requiring the integration and synthesis of knowledge from many sources in the liberal arts tradition. The faculty supports the mission through excellent teaching, scholarly activity, and service to the University, the local community, the State, and their management and accounting professions. Our students and graduates support the mission through active learning, research, and participation in service to the University, the State of North Carolina, and our local and global communities. We strive to use our distinctive setting within a public liberal arts university to focus on the human element as part of the decision making process in organizations. Students are encouraged to develop an appreciation for diversity and inclusion, a strong orientation toward ethics and social responsibility, and an awareness of the importance of globalization as part of management and accounting disciplines. We capitalize on our small size to facilitate collaboration and intellectual interaction among students and faculty, and this active learning enables students to become effective leaders and contributors to both their professional and social environments.
