Great students! Great faculty! Great programs! The FMU School of Business is on the move.
Welcome to the FMU School of Business website. We have a very active and capable student body more than 600 strong. Our faculty are excellent teachers, prominent scholars, and are concerned with student achievement. Our undergraduate and graduate programs are AACSB - International accredited - this means that these programs have the stamp of approval equivalent to most major business schools in the country. Let me highlight just a few of the activities that set the FMU School of Business apart.
In addition to strong academic programs, students are active in philanthropic and other learning experiences. Students in the School of Business sponsored a canned food drive before Thanksgiving 2002 to help the poor. Over 500 cans were collected in this two-week project and donated to the Manna House, a local soup kitchen. The School sponsors a number of very active clubs.  The Marketing Club sponsors speakers and programs on job searching, etiquette, and other important life skills beyond the traditional classroom. The FMU student Chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM) sponsored a team in the Society's case competition. This team placed third in this national competition in its first ever appearance. Students gain experiential learning by assisting community businesses through participation in projects with the Donald E. Kelley Small Business Institute. In addition, we encourage our students to gain valuable work experience while they are earning their degree through internships.
A growing number of FMU business students are taking advantage of the university's study abroad programs. Business students have spent time studying and working in Germany, Mexico, and Australia.
The FMU School of Business faculty have impressive resumes. The faculty regularly publish scholarly research papers in professional journals, present scholarly addresses at national and regional professional meetings, and publish books and cases that supplement class presentations. The faculty work to make the FMU business programs of the highest quality possible.
