Faculty and Resources

Knowledge + Experience

The faculty at Valpo’s College of Business Administration provide you with the ideal combination of scholarly expertise and professional experience. Many of our faculty continue to serve as consultants to businesses, which means you benefit from their cutting edge knowledge.

But our faculty’s first priority is you – the student. CBA faculty members have an “open door” policy with office hours that make them easily accessible to you whether you want to discuss an assignment or last night’s basketball game. Student-faculty interaction is one of the hallmarks of a Valpo education, which means you will find professors preparing teams for business competitions, mentoring students though job searches, or working side-by-side with them on research projects.

Our community

Urschel Hall, the CBA’s home base, makes this interaction simple, housing all of the faculty and administrative offices plus classrooms and conference rooms. The building is a “wireless environment” with state-of-the-art equipment for student use. We even have a stock market ticker tape in the lobby to keep you in touch with the latest national and international financial information.
