A quality curriculum in business fundamentals is of the utmost importance to the Neeley School. The curriculum is developed and implemented by a faculty recognized as scholars and leaders in their respective fields. Regular input is provided by Neeley School corporate partners through advisory groups and frequent classroom visits by executives.
Additionally, the Neeley School seeks to provide its students with the distinctive competencies needed to compete and lead in the business world: effective communication skills, the ability to utilize business technology, an understanding of the global nature of business, and a sense of the value of making ethical business decisions.
The M.J. Neeley School of Business is fully accredited by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business at both the undergraduate and the graduate levels.
