Creating business for a better world
In 2019, Colorado State University College of Business embarked on a transformative journey, committing to a vision that would set them apart in the world of business education. The result? Business for a Better World – a mission deeply embedded in every facet of the institution, from research to curriculum, student engagement, and community partnerships.
This commitment is not just a slogan; it’s a strategic plan that has redefined the college’s identity. Through a funding initiative called “Budgeting for Strategic Outcomes,” the college has successfully fueled ideas with funding that aligns with its vision.
Central to their success is the Impact MBA program, a unique and purpose-driven full-time MBA experience attracting students passionate about using business to address pressing global challenges. “This program has produced graduates who are making meaningful contributions to the workforce and to our world,” says College Dean, Beth Walker. “They’re tackling issues such as food insecurity, climate change, and much more.”
The college’s commitment to innovation extends to its online programs, where the use of cutting-edge technology like “Mosaic” creates a dynamic and inclusive community-oriented learning environment. With a focus on inclusion, the college has diversified its student body and often has over 90% of its graduates secure job offers within 90 days of completing their studies.
Facing demographic challenges, the college proactively collaborates with companies and two-year institutions to create pathways for students to see the value of a Colorado State University education. This forward-thinking approach includes the development of Innovation Allie, a living and learning concept fostering entrepreneurship and innovation, set to be completed by fall 2027.
In an arena where business schools often share similar missions, the Colorado State University College of Business stands out as a remarkably forward-thinking faculty. With programs like Impact MBA and the renowned Online MBA program, if you’re looking for a business education that transcends traditional boundaries, this is a great place to begin your journey.
