Growth Initiatives
The E. J. Ourso College has identified five specific areas to target during its current strategic plan to better serve the needs of its students, faculty, and staff.
'The Business Education Complex'
- On target for a March 2, 2012 ribbon-cutting ceremony, the Business Education Complex will serve as the college’s new home. This 156,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility will provide students opportunities to fully develop their skills and compete with peer and aspirant institutions.
Globalization
- The E. J. Ourso College has extended its global outreach to China by looking south and partnering with the University São Paulo in Brazil. Additionally, the college is working to establish partnerships in India and elsewhere to provide students necessary real-world, immersive experiences.
Supply Chain Management
- Using the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina as a catalyst, the E. J. Ourso College is working to prepare students for the Gulf Coast Region’s supply chain needs—how to build and sustain global supply chain excellence, security, and resiliency in a globally interdependent economy.
