Goddard School of Business and Economics Mission The John B. Goddard School of Business and Economics is committed to being an acknowledged leader in education. Our purpose is the development of individuals with the facility to analyze problems, the resolve to implement change, the capacity to lead, and the courage to act justly in all chosen endeavors. We are committed to baccalaureate education in business and economics which: fosters an understanding of the global economic environment, stresses integration across the functional areas, emphasizes the application of theory to practical situations, encourages strategic thinking, and promotes the capacity to envision and articulate purpose. Masters programs focus upon educating professionals who require specialized knowledge and advanced skills. Teaching is fundamental to our mission, and teaching is centered around a close link between students and faculty. Our teaching mission is chiefly supported through a community of teaching scholars who focus their efforts toward instructional improvement and the advancement of theory and practice through research. Faculty and staff also direct their expertise to enhance the broader community. In meeting community needs, efforts are focused on the needs of Utah and also toward advancing management practice and economic development at the national and international levels. We embrace a diverse student body admitted upon criteria which measure the promise for success. Educational opportunities are broadened through a generous scholarship program. The students of Utah are our prime constituency, but we attract and welcome students from across the nation and abroad. Degree programs encourage advanced undergraduates and graduate students to apply their classroom experiences in the business environment. The educational needs of entrepreneurs and working executives are supported through the School's distinct counseling, training and executive education programs. Our School is founded on an environment where people are free to openly question any concept, voiced by any person, at any time. Similarly, we value and seek the informed opinions of those outside the School. ACCESSIBILITY TO BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS COURSES All 1000 and 2000 level courses are open to all WSU students.
