All of the faculty at Houston Baptist University have a passion for teaching excellence. This group of faculty has chosen to teach in a smaller school with an emphasis on personalized education. Students will find HBU faculty members are accessible and approachable.

School of Business professors smoothly integrate traditional lectures, case studies, computer simulations, and student presentations to deliver a valuable classroom experience. They continuously challenge students not only to understand the theoretical underpinnings of the core curriculum but also to implement this understanding. 

"I am pleased to be associated with an MBA program that revolves around some of the most critical business issues that keep corporate America awake at night. The courses around business strategy, emerging business trends, e-commerce and leadership truly prepare the MBA students to provide thought leadership to their perspective organizations."  -Phaedon P. Papadopoulos, PhD Professor of Management.
