About the School of Business and Management

The School of Business and Management provides relevant, rigorous and career-focused degree programs that prepare leaders to add value to their firms and organizations in the dynamic global marketplace. Like all of Thomas Edison State University schools, our pedagogy, credit-earning opportunities and formats meet the needs of self-directed adults who seek to achieve educational and professional goals.

The University and The School of Business and Management seeks:

1. To provide curricula and degree opportunities of appropriate level and composition consistent with the aspirations of our students, the public welfare, and the highest qualitative standards of American higher education.
2. To create a system of college-level learning opportunities for adults by organizing collegiate and sponsored non-collegiate instruction into coherent degree strategies.
3. To make available educationally valid learning opportunities which serve as alternatives to college classroom study and which are appropriate to the varied needs and learning styles of adults.
4. To develop and implement processes for the valid and reliable assessment of experiential and extra-collegiate college-level learning, and to provide appropriate academic recognition for knowledge so identified consistent with high standards of quality and rigor.
5. To serve higher education and the public interest as a center of innovation, information, policy formulation and advocacy on behalf of adult learners.
