Our centers and institutes connect our academic programs with the community – companies, nonprofit agencies, and individuals seeking new business solutions.

College of Business centers, in many ways, serve as think tanks. They explore management and social issues, relevant business practices, and current industry trends. The centers provide research topics for our faculty, benchmarks and best practices for organizations, and hands-on learning experiences for our students. They also sponsor numerous programs, events, and special projects that inform and inspire academia and the people living and working in our communities.
