and apply appropriate models and technology to improve business
processes; to integrate the results of applied research and
instructional development into the educational process; to
provide professional expertise and service to our business
community; additionally, to provide our Management Information
Systems (MIS) and Operations Management and Analysis (OMA)

and operations concepts to qualify them for selected entry-level
positions in a global employment market.
