MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

   
The Fred Hale School of Business has the responsibility of providing the best Christian business education available. We have focused our attention on developing students to think critically and responsibly about ethical solutions for today's complex business problems.  The demand for our graduates is on the rise with salaries growing dramatically. The number of business students seeking a stable Christian academic environment is stronger than ever and East Texas Baptist University has invested significant sums of money to meet this challenge. The demand for admission to our program is rapidly increasing.

Dr. Charles W. Williams, Dean
Fred Hale School of Business

There are several initiatives within the School of Business that have increased the quality of education which we are able to provide: a major investment in the infrastructure of the School of Business including three new state-of-the-art classrooms; a renewed emphasis on teaching quality which is reflected in student evaluations of courses; the new "high tech" programs in computer science which augment very strong programs in business; a state-of-the-art computer lab with advanced equipment and software; and an outstanding faculty and staff who are dedicated to the School's mission of producing outstanding Christian business leaders.

The Fred Hale School of Business strives to continually enhance the quality of education offered to our students, and in particular we aim to become recognized as one of the region's top Christian schools of business. To make this a reality, we must be able to recruit the best and brightest students, hire a faculty with outstanding Christian teaching credentials, and provide state-of-the-art facilities for our faculty and students. Many of these initiatives will be made easier thanks to the generosity of our alumni and friends.

When you support the Fred Hale School of Business, you continue to help the School move forward in our academic mission by providing new opportunities for our students and augmenting existing ones. Your generosity will help to ensure that our School of Business can continue to build upon its traditions of excellence and strive for even greater success in the future.

As always, we really do appreciate hearing from our graduates.  My administrative assistant [June Jones] or I will be glad to answer any questions that you may have about our School of Business.  If you would like to contact us, please send us an e-mail at cwilliams@etbu.edu

Sincerely,
