The coursework and related available educational experiences prepare graduates in three ways for the opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities they will encounter in the business world.
  • First, graduates are to assume a place in society as aware, mature people who are comfortable with enduring values and wisdom by completing a strong and varied general education curriculum.
  • Second, graduates are prepared to understand and appreciate the context within which their work takes place by completing a solid and diverse basic business curriculum.
  • And third, graduates are prepared to successfully enter their chosen fields and cope effectively with changes that are likely to take place over time by completing a well-planned and intense major curriculum.
NKU and the Haile/US Bank College of Business are cognizant of the integral partnership between the college and the community and the importance of public engagement.
