Edgewood College

Meet Your Faculty

Welcome to the MBA website of the School of Business at Edgewood College. We are very proud of our twenty-five year tradition of teaching business principles to more than 600 graduates. The program has evolved over time to adapt to our dynamic world economy. Fifteen full-time faculty and 25 adjunct faculty teach a broad array of courses relevant to what the future will demand in terms of ethical leadership and global and technical knowledge. More than 47% of our students are women, and most students are currently employed by dozens of companies and organizations in the region.

As your Dean, it is my job to develop the resources that will contribute to the quality of your education and to collaborate with the faculty and staff to assure that you're receiving the value that you expect from us. We are proud that our primary goal is to develop socially responsible ethical leaders, giving our students the knowledge, skills and experiences needed to become successful citizens of the world. On behalf of my Edgewood College colleagues, we are hopeful that you will evaluate the information on this site, contact us and enroll in the program. You will become a proud recipient of an Edgewood MBA degree.

Sincerely,

Martin A. Preizler
