...is to prepare students for successful employment, advanced learning and service to community. We are committed to providing an environment that embraces experiential learning, stimulates academic excellence and incorporates ethical considerations.

Our vision is to be a business school that students seek out for a quality education, hands-on experience, and close student-faculty relationships in an environment that promotes the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.

One step toward that goal was the founding of the Institute for Business Integrity (IBI) in the fall of 2006. The institute is chaired by Dr. Robert Huddleston, accounting faculty and past president of DSC. Under his able leadership ethics has been integrated throughout the curriculum, and a series of ethics-related seminars is provided to students and the community. These seminars feature prominent leaders from around the region.

Opportunities for practical learning are provided by a faculty rich in global business experience. As part of their educational experience at DSU, students work with local businesses in a variety of projects.

Core to our success is our faculty. Because our mission is primarily that of teaching, DSU students have greater access to full-time faculty than at most major universities where the primary focus of faculty is research.
