B. Department Quality Initiatives and Results
FY2013 Quality Initiatives Results
Develop marketing efforts for student recruiting into majors
The department contacted all the high school counselors in the state of Kansas via mail and sent brochures and other information about our programs to them.

Program and course assessments will continue
-‐-‐Program and course assessment is on-‐going -‐-‐Pre-‐ and Post-‐tests are being used in some beginning level classes -‐-‐Standardized rubrics have been and continue to be developed -‐-‐Students take ETS Exam and CLA Exam -‐-‐A survey of graduating seniors is sent out each semester
Focus on research efforts of faculty Each faculty member is actively engaged in at least one research project with the objective of submitting a paper for review to a refereed journal. Faculty had 2 publications and 8 paper presentations this academic year.
Consider additional certificate programs
Faculty decided not to add any additional certificates this year, but may consider them in the future.
FY2014 Quality Initiatives Responsible Party, Resources, and Plan
Continue to develop marketing efforts for student recruiting into majors
The department will continue to focus on what can be done to increase interest in its majors and try to determine what recruiting tools to use to accomplish this goal.
Focus on research efforts of faculty Faculty members will be held accountable to maintain a research agenda that will meet accreditation standards. The expected research agenda for each faculty member is outlined in the Annual Statement of Responsibilities signed by the faculty member, chair, and dean.

FY2013 STRATEGY AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVEMENT A. Departmental Reflection of Strengths, Needs, Opportunities, and Threats
A department advisory council meeting was held on October 5, 2012 that enabled the department to receive input about our degree programs from our external constituents. The department also held a strategic planning retreat on March 15, 2013.
Current Strengths Current Needs
1. Academically qualified faculty that are recognized as leaders in the College of Business & Entrepreneurship (COBE):
• Dr. Schreyer chairs the COBE Research Committee
• Dr. Terry chairs the COBE MBA Committee
• Dr. Toulaboe co-‐chairs the COBE BBA Continuous Improvement Committee.
2. Sustained faculty research productivity. 3. Collegial work environment. 4. Outstanding departmental student organizations. 5. Strong work ethic of department majors.
1. Need to hire an Academically Qualified (AQ) faculty member to help staff courses for the MBA program. 2. Need to be competitive with faculty salaries to attract and retain good faculty.
Future Opportunities Future Threats
1. Increased opportunities for all faculty in the department to work jointly on research projects. 2. The ability to recruit community college transfers by signing 2+2 articulation agreements with community colleges in Kansas. 3. The International Business and Economics major has the potential to grow rapidly with on-‐line availability.
1. Faculty workloads are close to capacity in terms of in-‐load plus overload assignments for full-‐time faculty. 2. The department is responsible for staffing 3 of the 4 MBA leveling classes and 4 of the 8 MBA core classes. The core classes are offered both online and on-‐campus, with multiple sections which puts a great strain on the department and takes faculty away from servicing our undergraduate majors. 3. Decrease in western Kansas population could impact on-‐campus enrollment.
B. Opportunities for Improvement
Opportunity for Improvement Resources Required Expected Result
and Completion Date
Develop a better marketing plan for the International Business and Economics major to try and increase the number of majors in that program.
Another faculty member in the economics area is needed to assist with the MBA classes so current faculty are able to concentrate on teaching the courses for this undergraduate major.
Dr. Toulaboe and Dr. Schreyer continue to develop marketing for this major. The Economics Club, which was formed last year, may help to generate interest in the area of economics.
Develop a fraud/forensic accounting concentration.
The department will need funding for faculty training related to this specialization.
If the MBA doesn’t pull resources from our undergraduate program, new courses need to be developed.
