bauer research in leadership

The C. T. Bauer College of Business provides the college community with exposure to business and community leaders, bridging academic teachings on leadership and ethics. Students walk away with a better understanding of the role leadership and ethics play in personal as well as professional development. Bauer College faculty members have a strong background in leadership and ethics, and their expertise comes from continual research in these areas – skills essential for the Real World of Business.

The C. T. Bauer College of Business believes in the importance of exposing its students to the study of business ethics throughout their educational careers. Students in the Bauer College are introduced to business ethics concepts and problems early in their studies, and are required to complete a capstone course on business ethics toward the end of their studies. Additionally, Bauer faculty members are encouraged to incorporate an ethics component into their courses so that students have continuous exposure to the study of business ethics throughout the curriculum. To assist both faculty and students in teaching and studying business ethics, the Bauer Center for Business Ethics was created in 2005.
