Our mission is to provide innovative educational opportunities and create a knowledgeable, engaged graduate, prepared to add value to an ever-changing business community. And we do so in a modern, award-winning $10 million space in Gignilliat Hall, home of the Wright School of Business.

Students can look forward to our exploring the finance lab, where they can get real-time stock figures, keep track of finance news, and ensure they have access to critical data for decision-making. Financial tickers and study pods will also be added to the space very soon.

Our modern classrooms are also equipped with the latest technology to enhance learning and exploration for our business students—a new classroom wing, computer labs, bright open spaces for meetings and gatherings, a multipurpose BizHub space for seminars and classes, and a marketing focus group lab.
