Increased Credit Hour Production Supports Continued Growth

Along with my excitement of announcing Dr. Molly Wasko as the new Chair of the Department of Management, Information Systems, and Quantitative Methods (MISQ), I am also pleased to report that our credit-hour production for fall and spring semester was up 10% and 14% respectfully. Given the very entrepreneurial environment of UAB, the growth in credit hours produces a direct increase in school revenue. I wish to thank all the faculty and staff members for their excellent work in creating a positive and exciting learning environment which is the key to student growth. While many other state university schools of business are cutting back staffing (in response to budget cuts), we at the UAB School of Business are pursuing exceptional scholar-teachers to work with our excellent faculty in meeting the learning needs of our growing number of exceptional students.
