Welcome to the Fogelman College of Business & Economics Web site.  Under our model of operation, we consider members of the business community to be our customers; the students our products; and the faculty and staff our employees that manufacture the product.

We constantly strive to produce excellent products.  By doing so, we not only satisfy our customers, but also our students who can command outstanding positions in great organizations.  Our faculty and staff take great pride in producing a quality product.  Whether you are a prospective student, a parent, a potential employer or someone seeking employment with the College, let it be known that under this philosophy, all stakeholders win. 

Memphis is home to many of America’s greatest companies, and the Fogelman College takes maximum advantage of the metropolitan environment in which it is located.  Students are provided opportunities to interact with the business community through real-world, relevant and important projects and internships. When you combine the wealth of real-world experience available to Fogelman College students with a philosophy geared to make the student more marketable to employers, the result is exceptional graduates who can compete with the best in the world and who are prepared for professionally and financially rewarding positions when they enter the workforce.

The Fogelman College operates under a faculty portfolio model which allows us to effectively educate students at all stages in their education – whether they are undergraduate, masters or doctoral level.  Under this unique model, we maximize the individual talents of each faculty member.  While all faculty are engaged in varying degrees in relevant research and knowledge generation to solve business problems, some faculty members specialize in educating and inspiring our undergraduate students; others apply their unique talents to executive education and building bridges to the business community; a third group of faculty members find their calling in educating our Ph.D. students.  Faculty are recruited or assigned responsibilities to take advantage of their specific skill set, and we constantly evaluate the current and needed skills of our faculty members so we can optimize the knowledge generation and dissemination functions.

Whether you are a current or future product or customer of the Fogelman College, or someone just looking for more information, I hope you will take the time to explore our Web site and visit the College in person. I look forward to working with you in whatever capacity you may require.
