Vision
The Department of Business Studies is committed to providing one of the leading undergraduate business programmes in the Caribbean. Through strong partnerships with industry, the business sector, and government, we will produce graduates who are globally competitive with strong entrepreneurial skills, and committed to lifelong learning and national development.
Mission
The Department of Business Studies is devoted to the development of students who are prepared to take on the challenges of the fast-paced, dynamic environment of business. We are producing graduates who:
- are professional and ethical,
- can solve challenges creatively,
- embrace technological advancement, and
- can adapt to a rapidly evolving world.
We will accomplish this through value-based relationships with the business and national communities and a learner-centred curriculum that is dedicated to student success.
Core Values
We are further guided by the following core values:
Quality
The department holds quality as the platinum standard! We promote excellence in teaching and learning as it is the distinguishing characteristic and standard by which we shall measure ourselves and our students in the development of quality citizens through programmes that are recognised and accepted by local and international institutions.
Professionalism
Professionals are always ethical in their behaviour, efficient in their use of time, team-oriented, self-guided, and skilled. The Department will exhibit this in all its activities and educate our students through our curriculum and the examples set by faculty and staff.
Education
The Department embraces education in all its forms. We adopt a learner-centred model, designed to produce individuals that are lifelong learners. Students learn in both traditional and non-traditional modes. We believe that experiential learning is the key to true education and as such, through continuous curriculum review and development, our programmes offer practical training alongside the theoretical underpinnings of business education,
Innovative and Creative Problem Solvers
In today’s knowledge-driven, dynamic, and constantly evolving environment, the ability to think, critically, creatively adapt to or overcome challenges are the fundamentals of success. Our graduates are problem solvers and innovators who add value in today’s business environment, characterised by change and ambiguity.
Entrepreneurship
The entrepreneurial spirit drives all major economies. With a national goal to become a knowledge-driven economy, the need for entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial thinkers increases. All of our programmes are designed to develop in our students an entrepreneurial spirit and a capacity for informed risk-taking.
