A Welcome Message from the Dean

Welcome to the web site of the School of Business at Park University.

You have come to the right place! Welcome to one of the most progressive business schools in America that is clearly on the move. The entire faculty and staff of the School of Business are constantly taking the pulse of the business world to make sure our programs are on the cutting-edge of management know-how and technological innovations that will shape business education and practice well into the 21st century.

As the new Dean of the School of Business, I am filled with much excitement about the future of business education at Park University. As one of the largest academic units at the university, there is tremendous opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our students here at Park. In keeping with our mission, the faculty members are academically qualified with the appropriate terminal degrees as well as having relevant work experience at the managerial, executive, and professional levels. These professors are able to seamlessly integrate business theory and practice and our students are the beneficiaries of these unique experiences.

As an undergraduate student in the School of Business at Park, a student has the option of pursuing several majors and minors: Accounting, Economics, Finance, Management and Human Resources, Marketing, and International Business. Students in the School of Business , as well as other students across the campus, can complete their degree by attending traditional classes at our beautiful Parkville campus or through our online campus programs. We are always working with our students to help them gain the needed "real world" job experiences that propel them into a successful work environment. Such experiences often include company projects, internships, site visits to firms in the Greater Kansas City Metropolis, as well as several overseas study tours to various parts of the world.

For those who aspire to moving up the corporate ladder, the new Park MBA offers a great program with flexibility and students can pursue their degrees with emphasis in one of the following areas: Management, Entrepreneurship, HealthCare/Health Services Management, International Business, and Management Information Systems, and Computer Network and Security.

I invite you to explore Park University and see why we have been educating men and women from all over the world since 1875. If you have any question that I might answer for you, please contact me at alphonso.ogbuehi@park.edu.
