Brian Wiard

I truly value the education I received from the Falls School of Business at Anderson University. Through the interactive and challenging curriculum, I not only learned the subjects at hand, I learned things about my peers and myself. I would recommend the Falls School of Business for a number of reasons. First, the faculty truly care about students’ personal education and provide the opportunity to study business in a Christian environment. Professors are also available and accessible outside of the classroom and are always willing to help in any way possible. Second, the faculty have practical “real world” experience which they apply to classroom lessons, reinforcing ideas and concepts. Third, students are given opportunities to apply classroom knowledge to extracurricular activities such as Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) and Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA). Finally, students develop lasting friendships with others who share similar goals and aspirations.

For the Record
The Falls School of Business (FSB) is fully accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs -- the only Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU) school in Indiana and one of the few Christian colleges nationwide to hold that accreditation. FSB has a high-quality MBA program, with 200 students enrolled in the Anderson and Indianapolis areas. The program enhances opportunities for undergraduate students by providing a source of job contacts, internship possibilities and classroom speakers. FSB also has the only Doctor of Business Administration degree program in the CCCU. The program is aimed at preparing individuals to teach in a Christian university setting.

• Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) teams hone their presentation and project management skills. AU teams have won regional competitions regularly since 1994 and have competed in the international competition on several occasions.

• The school recently moved to a newly acquired building and is finishing a renovation project that includes “smart classrooms” -- rooms that are equipped with the most up-to-date educational technology.

• The Falls School of Business has one of the largest number of qualified faculty among small, Christian universities. There are 17 full-time faculty members. Thirteen hold doctoral degrees, six hold professional certifications and all have practical business experience.
