The mission of the College of Business is to provide high quality business education to a diverse learning community through innovative teaching, research, and service, predicated on a vision of a 21st century in which the college plays an essential role in establishing and maintaining San Francisco as an epicenter of global business, innovation, and leadership.
The College of Business offers undergraduate, graduate, and executive business education, providing a broad and exciting array of courses of study and concentrations.
The student body is diverse, reflecting not only the San Francisco area, but also the large number of international students who choose San Francisco State University’s College of Business. In 2004, the College awarded more undergraduate business degrees to Asian Americans than any other institution in the United States. As the feminist Gloria Steinem once said: “Go to San Francisco State. It’s the only campus that looks like the world.”
The College of Business at San Francisco State is among the less than 25% of business schools in the US and 15 % of international schools that are fully accredited by AACSB International, The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
The core values guiding the College of Business decision-making and behavior are:
Facilitating Access
Building on a tradition of offering broad access to diverse students—both traditional students and working adults—the College of Business will offer classes morning, afternoon and evening, on weekdays and on weekends, on campus and off at affordable prices.
Intellectual Capital
The College of Business strives to reinforce basic skills and substantive business knowledge that can
be adapted and applied throughout our students' careers. We do so in a setting
that promotes inquiry, respects differences, tolerates dissention and encourages
lifelong learning.
Engaged Learning Partnership
As a learning community involving faculty, staff, students, administrators, and business professionals, the College of Business will work as a team in pursuit of learning, shared discovery, and intellectual inquiry.
Knowledge Creation & Dissemination
The College of Business faculty is committed to the study, understanding, advancement, and diffusion of knowledge through research that improves global business practice. While the California State University focuses on applied research, the College of Business encourages all forms of quality research.
Ethical and Professional Management
The College of Business strives to manage our enterprise in an exemplary manner, respecting the principles of shared governance, effective leadership, and faculty/staff service.
San Francisco Mindset
The College of Business celebrates the fact that our school reflects our community and the greater
San Francisco community is among the most cosmopolitan, diverse, and tolerant
in the world. Such a munificent environment offers opportunities for the College of Business
to focus on emerging technologies, global markets, and service industries.
Culture of Collaboration
In accordance with San Francisco State University values, the College of Business embraces innovation as it relates
to delivering learning opportunities, providing core service and support, and
engaging the community through collaborative interactions.
Commitment to Excellence
As part of the continuous improvement process, we build in processes to obtain feedback from all constituencies including faculty, staff, students, alumni, employers, other universities, and business professionals.
