Pamplin School of Business: Welcome

The vision of the Dr. Robert B. Pamplin, Jr. School of Business Administration is to attract the finest students to the University, provide premier business education through a dynamic curriculum, serve the business community by providing high-potential graduates and do so in a value-centered environment.  We strive, in the Pamplin School of Business to provide every conceivable tool students will need for their careers—from skills and practice to ideas and connections.

But we also offer something that is far rarer: a constant attention to creativity, entrepreneurship, and the overarching sense that businesses can serve communities in a thousand ways. Anyone can teach the tools of business. We aim much higher.

We want to help students find and hone their talents, their creativity, their wit and energy, so as to carve a career that makes an impact. Business at its best is a joy, a verb, a river of ideas that makes human life deeper and richer. That’s what an education here can do.

I look forward to meeting you.
