Business & Economics

Applying knowledge is what Lambuth’s esteemed School of Business and Economics is all about. Academically, this School is one of the premier Business Schools in the nation. On the national Major Field Achievement Test, given to more than 400 colleges and universities throughout the country, for six out of the past seven years, Lambuth’s graduating business majors have scored in the top 10 percentile. For the past two years, they have risen to the top 5 percentile! Also, Lambuth School of Business and Economics is the only college or university in the Jackson area accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs, an agency that accredits business programs that meet high standards for leadership, strategic planning, customer satisfaction, outcomes assessment, faculty and curriculum.

In 2001, the Lambuth School of Business and Economics established the Lunch with the Pros Series, forums during which successful business leaders speak to students. Past speakers include Joe Weller, CEO of Nestle’s USA, and Aubrey Patterson, Chairman of the American Bankers. In 2002, the School established the Distinguished Lecture Series, with Dr. William Poole, President of the Federal Reserve Bank, as the inaugural speaker.

The slogan adopted by the School of Business and Economics is “Where Theory Meets the Real World,” and the School’s curriculum reflects these words. Whether it is “adopting a retailer” in Principles of Retailing or doing a “security analysis” in Financial Management, majors in this School not only learn theory, but also practice it. It is taking the learning experience beyond theory into practice that gives Lambuth’s Business students a tremendous competitive edge.
