The philosophy of Douglas School of Business, established in 1904, was developed through years of educational experience and knowledge. The core of this philosophy is the belief that students of diverse ages and backgrounds can work together effectively in the classroom, thereby growing in skill, knowledge, and maturity beyond the normal expectations, to achieve any goal they may desire. The educational program at Douglas is oriented toward meeting the needs of its students by developing professionalism, leadership, technical skills, and interpersonal and communications skills. Douglas offers an understanding, friendly, and considerate environment where students feel welcome and cared for by the administration and faculty. At Douglas, students are thought of as individual personalities and are, therefore, treated as individuals. The school is concerned with the human element and strives to develop the potential of each student. This is done by determining the strengths and weaknesses of each student and the type and amount of assistance he or she must have.
The mission of Douglas School of Business is twofold. Our first responsibility is to provide students with a quality education that will develop the attitudes, skills, and techniques necessary to enter and succeed in their chosen field of study. Our second responsibility is to provide prospective employers with well-trained personnel. The curricula of Douglas is designed to maintain high standards of performance upon which these future employers can depend. Douglas School of Business has the obligation to create an educational atmosphere that will not only foster the highest standards of excellence in all students, but also help these students to develop an awareness of social responsibility and ethical behavior.
