Better Business. Better World.
At the Lundquist College of Business, we are proud to be a nationally ranked business school at the University of Oregon, an R1 public university, and a member of the prestigious American Association of Universities (AAU) and Association of Pacific Rim Universities.
Our new, revised strategic plan outlines how the college delivers a dynamic learning environment where world-class professors engage and get to know students, where students work on real projects for real companies, and where alumni go on to high-powered jobs worldwide.
Our strategic plan is divided into four goals, illustrated below.
Goal 1: Cultivate an environment that attracts, develops, and retains an outstanding and diverse community of students, faculty, and staff; that fosters and celebrates diversity; and that provides a sense of belonging and purpose. We cannot attain excellence in our other goals without having outstanding diversity in backgrounds and perspectives across our faculty, staff, and students, ensuring that everyone is welcomed and feels they belong.

Goal 2: Influence scholarly discourse, business practices, and policymaking through high-impact research and thought leadership. This includes providing expertise to accelerate research and innovation to help members of our campus and community create and bring viable products to market that better our world. Lundquist faculty are thought leaders whose research impacts management practice and policy, benefiting society at local, regional, national, and international levels. Their expertise also provides world-class training of PhD students, who go on to teach at other leading business programs where they help other researchers, innovators, and entrepreneurs get their ideas into the marketplace.

Goal 3: Embrace lifelong learning, research, and global perspectives. Students are at the center of all that the University of Oregon does. In that spirit, Lundquist defines student success as students’ ability to fulfill their goals in education, career, and life—to be both well-educated and positioned for career success.
