1 Terry College of Business Strategic Plan The mission of the University of Georgia s Terry College of Business is the pursuit and dissemination of knowledge for the effective and ethical practice of business. Within this mission, the highest priority of the Terry College of Business is advancing economic development. Specifically, as the business school at the nation s first state-chartered university, the Terry College of Business is committed to advancing economic development through its three central missions: teaching, research, and service. In teaching, our goal is to provide students an education that exceeds that provided by other top business schools. To that end, we aim to engage students in challenging coursework and internships that lead to outstanding placement upon graduation and prepares our alumni to become leaders in their organizations. In research, our goals are to generate creative insights into the nature of business and to develop innovative solutions for spurring economic growth and increasing firms efficiency and profitability. To that end, we aim to provide faculty with a supportive research environment that allows them to engage in high impact, interdisciplinary work. In service, our goal is to advance the economic vibrancy of communities around the state and beyond. To that end, we aim to engage our students in service learning, where they can practice their skills in real-world settings and give back to their communities, and to expand our presence in online and executive education. In all these efforts, the Terry College of Business will strive to demonstrate consistently high standards of excellence, be a conscientious steward of resources, and provide an environment for our students, faculty, and staff that enables them to reach their highest potential. We are fortunate that Terry already has a record of achievement in its teaching, research, and service activities. With this strategic plan, we hope to raise our standards even higher. Every student and every program deserves our best effort, and every student and program should reflect positively on Terry, the university as a whole, and the State of Georgia. Thus, the strategic goals listed below are not presented in order of importance; all are critical to Terry s success. Building on Excellence in Undergraduate Education Increase the quality, coherence, and labor market relevance of the undergraduate majors in Terry to better prepare students for successful careers Update labor market relevance through feedback from alumni and key recruiters Process: Benchmark curricula of peer and aspirant schools; conduct surveys of graduating seniors and young alumni (five years out). Align curriculum more closely to labor market demands and needs

2 Process: Solicit feedback from employers of recent graduates; form departmental advisory boards with alumni and executives (where appropriate); develop structured Terry Talks programs that supplement curricula and integrate curricula with real-world issues. Identify and implement areas of concentration as appropriate Process: Consider areas of concentration (i.e., series of courses) within a major to add focus to students courses of study and brand identity for employers. Identify and correct overlaps or gaps in sequences of courses in majors Process: Gather faculty input to identify gaps and/or overlaps in the curricula; assess the current status of ethics coverage and make changes as appropriate; contact other department heads to discuss their perceptions of gaps and/or overlaps in the curricula; collect data from graduating seniors about gaps and/or overlaps in curriculum; identify and implement opportunities to expand the Workforce Diversity Certificate. Identify recommended non-major courses Process: Solicit feedback from departmental faculty and from faculty in departments in allied disciplines; where possible, develop non-major courses which might appeal to students in multiple majors. Effectively communicate program expectations and job opportunities Process: Develop and implement orientation programs for new majors each semester; have members of the university Career Services Center come talk to groups of majors to educate them about university resources for help writing resumes and preparing for interviews; work with Terry s Corporate Relations group to increase students networking and placement opportunities. Strengthen students communication skills Process: Evaluate whether current courses whose goal is to strengthen communication skills are fulfilling that mission and, if not, devise alternative courses of action; as appropriate, discuss with other departmental faculty ways of introducing writing assignments and oral presentations into course activities and evaluation procedures; use student club activities to strengthen students oral presentation skills. Increase opportunities for students to engage in experiential learning and global study Process: Integrate the introduction to study abroad, exchange programs, and internships into orientation programs for new majors; minimize departmental barriers to study abroad; collect detailed information on students participation in internship programs (both for credit and not for credit); work with Terry s Corporate Relations to develop and cultivate a list of target internship companies;

3 consider one-credit spring break study abroad programs and ways of advertising study abroad opportunities more widely. Key outcome measures: undergraduate placement rate; placement quality (e.g., quality of company, relevance of job to student s career goals); quality and diversity of students; starting salary; percentage of students with internships and study abroad experiences; number of hours worked (in coursework) per major; feedback from students on annual exit surveys; feedback from alumni and employers; course evaluations of faculty on quality and rigor of instruction; comparisons with data collected from AACSB-Q; implementation of recommended changes in the curriculum. Enhancing the Quality of Terry Graduate, Executive, and Online Programs Increase the quality, effectiveness, and success of the full-time day MBA program, Professional MBA programs at Buckhead and Gwinnett campuses, and the Executive MBA Program Leverage Terry strengths to differentiate programs relative to competitors Process: Based on review of peer/aspirant schools, identify areas where Terry could have competitive advantages in terms of program recognition, faculty expertise, alumni and employer connections, and prior placement success. Update labor market relevance through feedback from alumni and key recruiters Process: Benchmark curricula of peer and aspirant schools; conduct surveys of graduating seniors and young alumni (five years out); solicit feedback from employers of recent graduates. Utilize alumni and existing Terry corporate relationships to enhance placement success Process: Enhance coordination among programs in terms of job search preparation, networking opportunities, and placement contacts; increase the role of Development in providing good placement and networking contacts. Increase enrollment in each program and decrease the number of undersized classes Process: Develop new marketing plans for each program that highlights faculty, deliverables, and employment successes; have program directors contact department heads early in the preceding semester so that course conflicts can be eliminated; implement pre-registration processes early in the preceding semester to identify low enrollment courses that could be eliminated and replaced with higher-enrollment courses. Increase amount of substantive learning and analytic thinking in coursework and set higher standards of excellence Process: Provide course-level GPA for each course in each MBA program; benchmark those GPAs against both our undergraduate classes and peer and aspirant

4 MBA programs; consider whether extensive use of independent studies adds sufficient value to students; collect detailed feedback from graduating students and recent graduates on the rigor and utility of the curricula. Improve the quantity and quality of incoming students to the full-time MBA Program and align admissions processes with placement opportunities in that program Process: Use five years previous placement data to identify the characteristics of incoming students which contributed positively to placement success; use five years previous placement data to identify the characteristics of incoming students who had difficulty or who failed in finding satisfactory employment upon graduation; use that information in setting admissions criteria. Track average GPA and GMAT of all applicants as well as those of entering students; track percentages of qualified and unqualified applicants; track yield rate of qualified applicants.
