Faculty

Professor

"I expect students to appreciate the presence of the vast amount of data we have in our hands and learn meaningful use of that data."

Assistant Professor

"From the programming course, I expect students to leave the course with a fundamental understanding of programming that can be applied to not only the language covered in the course, but transferable to other programming languages within the analytics field."

Assistant Professor of Accounting

"Come in with an eagerness to learn and an open mind, devote the necessary time to study and practice, and you can get a lot from the program."

Professor

"[I want students to learn about] the nature and structure of international markets and competition as well as country risk analysis."

Associate Professor of Management

"Students will learn how the different elements of a business organization are interdependent and how each element affects and is affected by the people in the organization."

Finance Professor

"If a student is at a point in her or his career where a physical presence at one university or another is just not practical, then the online program at UNCW offers an invaluable option."

Professor of Management and Director of the Professional and Executive MBA Programs

"[I want students to learn] strategic decision-making from the integrative perspective of the business owner and/or upper management."

Associate Professor

"Analytics is a rapidly evolving field, and it's simply not possible to teach "everything" in any course. Students should be able to attack a problem and develop clever approaches to solving the problem."

Professor of Management

"I aspire for my students to know how to navigate the laws and practical barriers to be effective in leading organizations both domestically and internationally."

MBA Director and Associate Professor of Marketing

"This is not a lightweight program. Be prepared to spend at least fifteen hours on work each week per class. At the end of the day, you will have earned an MBA that will provide you real value."

Associate Dean of Graduate & International Programs and Professor of Finance

"As a young banker in the 1990s, I taught a night course for the American Bankers Association (ABA) in economics and discovered I loved teaching. So when the opportunity came to leave industry, earn a Ph.D. and seek a tenure-track faculty position, I grabbed it. Best decision ever."

Professor

"I want students to learn the content of the economics course."

Associate Professor

"Through teaching I want to impart knowledge to the students, help them generate interest in the subject matter, help students to self-discover, and help them to build a career in the subject matter that I teach. It is a profession where one needs to be on a path of nonstop learning."

Assistant Professor

"I want [students] to leave with a thorough understanding of financial statements, where they can navigate regulatory filings and feel confident in a workplace that demands knowledge of the statements."

Adjunct Professor

"I am most interested in helping you learn material that you will find useful and practical in leading health care organizations. Each student comes with meaningful experience in the health care or business environment, so I hope and expect that everyone will participate by providing relevant stories of your own."

Instructor

"I aim to support students in learning how to thoroughly investigate, understand and develop amazing strategies for brands through discussion, lecture, practice and theory."

Part-time Lecturer

"I could see the impact that professors made on students and I knew that I wanted to inspire and encourage students in the same way that I had been encouraged and inspired."

Professor

"The program is designed to allow students to pursue their interests and aspirations even as they navigate a well-designed course sequence. So, I would tell students to come in with a clear sense of what they want out of the program and go for it!"

Associate Professor

"Most of our students have full-time jobs and families; that being said, the 7-week terms are fast-paced, so you need to really carve out time each week to complete your work."

Assistant Professor

"This is meaningful work. Not only do we teach how to engage with the field, but also the theory behind the practice."

Assistant Professor

"One of the major benefits of IMC is that you get to be both marketing minded AND creatively inclined—it's that combination of business knowledge and an eye for good design and campaign elements that really sets you apart when you enter the marketplace."

Assistant Professor

"I am here to provide instruction, guidance, and inspiration. Looking forward to getting to know each of you!"

Assistant Professor

"[Great teachers] have changed their student's lives so profoundly that I wanted to follow their examples and pass on their passion for knowledge and education to help my students in a way that they have helped me."

Lecturer

"The MSN Nurse Educator program is fulfilling and demanding. It attracts a variety of nurses from the seasoned nurse to the newer grad."

Lecturer

"A student can plan their study plan well and set a reasonable pace to follow instructions in a course."

Assistant Professor

"Having a BSN will make a nurse more marketable and open more opportunities for advancement."

Assistant Professor

"Since my youth, I had a passion for nursing and teaching. I value lifelong learning and enjoy sharing what I have learned with others."

Assistant Professor

"It is a lot of work but very much worth it! You will enjoy forming communities with other students who share similar professional goals."

Assistant Professor

"Any nurse can be a leader, no matter what their official title is. That is why preparing yourself academically is so important."
