About College of Business
Office of the Dean
Dr. Derrick Warren, Dean of the College of Business
Message from the Dean:
The College of Business prepares students to become productive citizens, strong civic
leaders, and highly skilled professionals whose expertise fuels growth among Louisiana
businesses and the rest. To succeed in the contemporary workplace, today’s students
must prepare for jobs that are rapidly changing, use technologies that are still emerging
and work with colleagues from all parts of the globe. In addition, the College of
Business emphasizes its role in fostering personal growth and helping students examine
their values and commitments.
In trying to make higher education relevant to the workforce, we are focusing on producing
graduates with critical –thinking skills and abilities to communicate effectively,
solve problems creatively, work collaboratively and adapt to changing priorities.
In addition to these “soft skills”, we are also emphasizing “hard skills” associated
with specific jobs by partnering with companies to meet their workforce development
strategy. We are also strengthening student competencies in middle skill-jobs such
as information technologies as well as “foundation skills”
