Mission and Vision

Mission
The Isenberg School of Management advances the reputation and mission of the University of Massachusetts' flagship campus and land grant institution by 1) Making an impact on research in management, on the teaching of management, and the practice of management by creating and sharing new knowledge, 2) Preparing students for a rapidly changing business environment by providing high quality educational programs, and 3) Supporting organizations within the Commonwealth and other constituencies through outreach activities.  In fulfilling this mission, the Isenberg School follows these principles:

  1. We are committed to a diversity of backgrounds, interests and perspectives in the people we employ, the students we enroll, and the programs we offer;
  2. We provide an exceptional education and develop men and women of high integrity to be leaders in their chosen fields;
  3. We value the importance of the interdisciplinary nature of business and create programmatic offerings accordingly;
  4. We build core areas of research strength and respond to new and burgeoning areas with our research focus and program development; and
  5. We prepare our students for the marketplace through job placement support services and strong connections with alumni and corporate partners.

Vision
Our vision is to be one of the top 10 public business schools in the world1 by providing an educational and research environment that emphasizes ethical and innovative action to solve our most challenging business problems.
