THERE’S MORE TO BLUE.
“ There is a small school atmosphere, yet students are rewarded with a ‘large school’ degree.” Shannon Gehrke, MBA 2009 Plymouth, Indiana
“ When you look at the training of our faculty, the reputation of our programs, the quality of our facilities, and the eagerness of our students, I think that you’d be hard-pressed to find a better institution from which to get a business degree.” Brien Smith Dean, Scott College of Business

“I wanted all of the opportunities a Division 1 school offers, but I didn’t want to be just another number, so Indiana State was the perfect size for me.” Bram Blackwell, Accounting major
“ You see people together constantly, on their laptops working on things together. It’s a very collective atmosphere.” Ashley Borhart Operations and Supply Chain Management major
Immersion isn’t part of the program. It is the program. “I have been given a number of opportunities in the Networks Program. I’ve spoken at and coordinated a number of events, and I studied abroad in Prague Czech Republic.” Monica Griesemer, ’18, Marketing major
Why Indiana State for business?
Your degree will say Scott College of Business, but what it prepares you for is so much more. Any business school that tells you it has all the answers is either stuck in the past or trying too hard to impress you. Business leaders today—and especially business leaders tomorrow—will thrive only if they keep asking tough questions and stay flexible enough to change when the answers demand it. Which is precisely how we’ve built the Scott College of Business at Indiana State. We’re a community of learners: You’ll learn from us. You’ll learn from your classmates. We’ll learn from you and what we create together. We’re a laboratory for the new: Breakout ventures. Unconventional partnerships. Operational experiments driven by students with a better idea. Scott isn’t so large that it’s paralyzed by systems and processes that resist change.
SCOTT COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
We challenge you and support you in equal measure: Professors mix it up with students instead of hiding behind research and publications. That also means they are close enough to understand how to get the most out of you, individually. You enroll as a business major. You graduate ready for anything. Your degree will say Scott College of Business, but what it prepares you for is so much more. Business principles are embedded in the American and global culture. Entrepreneurs are stepping up to solve some of the most important problems society is facing—from fighting disease to slowing climate change. And no matter how big you dream, it’s good to know how to build an effective team and lead it toward a goal.

It’s your time to explore.
What’cha gonna DO with your life? Go ahead. Embrace the uncertainty. The job interviews you go on five years from now could be in fields no one has imagined yet. Which means, no matter how much you get asked, you don’t have to have your career all figured out by high school graduation. Given that, the Scott College of Business is an ideal launch pad for your as-yetundeclared, sky-high future. Our degrees can send you anywhere the world or your heart pulls you, for decades to come.
SCOTT COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
Since your first four semesters are spent on the general courses all business students are required to take, you can lock in your exact major later. Our profs love to let freshmen sample their career options. You’ll get to meet and even work alongside working professionals in a variety of fields, right from the start.

“ It’s a class called Senior Business Experience. Your group gets to run a business or consult for a real company. You apply everything you’ve learned. It makes you realize what it takes to manage a business.” One day she’s in braids and a funky tee-shirt. The next day it’s a sleek business suit; she’s got people to meet. Lexi stays up late to keep up with her job, her side projects, and volunteer work. That’s just how she wants it: Lexi has gained new endurance— and time management skills—from her experiences at Indiana State. Here’s how she tells the story: “Back in high school, I just wanted to follow my boyfriend to college. Now I’m a lot more career focused. I’m driven, and I don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. I didn’t realize that till I came here. “I came from a difficult background, a split family. When I was little my mom worked three jobs at one time. She’s now a V.P. at a major corporation. She went to night school and worked her way up from the bottom. “Scott College gave me the opportunity to travel to Paris through a business scholarship, which was amazing. They also helped set up my internship where I am now starting my professional career.

“For my Senior Business Experience class, I was in charge of all purchasing for Executive Express Café (the student-run restaurant at Scott College). I bought everything that we sell, and tracked the inventory. I negotiated with vendors. I got Chick-fil-A™ on the menu! That gave us a real bump in revenue. “Being responsible for a real business made me push my boundaries and test my skill set. I’ve also gotten better at taking criticism—in the business world you have to.”

“ Indiana State provides a tremendous opportunity for students to not only acquire knowledge that they will need in their careers, but also to develop soft skills that are essential for their professional success.” Our professors don’t just show up for class. They show up for you, year in and year out. The Scott College is filled with faculty who consider teaching their life’s calling. Instructors choose Indiana State for many of the same reasons our students do: They feel a different energy here, fueled by relationships that are personal, dynamic, and invested in the individual. When Kim LaGrange says leaders should get to know their employees so they can best design a platform for an engaging workplace, that’s exactly what she does in her classroom.
“I teach management and leadership principles, but my goal is to model management and leadership behaviors in my classes as a means to deepen students’ learning.” LaGrange has been the principal consultant with the management consulting firm Prime Resources for more than 20 years. She spent 10 years as a human resources professional—including five years at the vice president level—in the financial services industry.
“When I know my students as people, it helps me develop examples for class discussion that will resonate with them. It is also helpful when I am trying to make students aware of internship and career opportunities that may be of interest to them.

“ I always thought I was good at math. In high school I was extremely involved in DECA, so I knew I wanted to be in business. When I got a scholarship that focused in insurance and risk management, it was perfect.” “ The most important thing I learned while traveling abroad was that every culture does not have the same business culture. That was extremely important to know during our industry visits. They invited us into their places of business, so it was important to know how they conduct everyday business.” In her four years at Indiana State, Swapna Namburi has had her hand in everything. She was a three-year member of the Sparkettes dance team, the president of her sorority, and an active member in the community—and that doesn’t even cover her involvement in the Scott College of Business! During her college career she has landed three internships and participated in numerous business organizations.

“The combination of my experiences in the Scott College of Business and my internships has equipped me to enter the work force fully prepared and ready to take on any challenges that I may face in the business world. “Sorority life gives me the challenge to try to become a better person than I was yesterday by helping me bond with girls who represent the same values as me.”

“ Pick one name, and I’ll tell you all about that student and their life, how they are doing in my classes and when they graduate.” While working on his MBA at the University of Akron, Kuntal Bhattacharyya discovered he had a gift for teaching. Yet he felt it would be hard to teach future leaders without having been one himself. So he took a break from grad school to work in corporate America, enjoying six hard-charging years with Timken, a global industrial technology leader. Bhattacharyya drew on his relationships in academia and the Fortune 500 to help fine-tune Indiana State’s curriculum in Supply Chain Management with Paul Schikora, marketing and operations department chair, which launched in 2012.
“Graduation is my best day here. That’s when I see the difference we have made in those lives—looking into those eyes when they walk accross the stage to receive their diploma, and remembering the first day I had them in class and what a difference their experiences here have made and how far they’ve come. That makes you proud.”

“ There is nothing to replace a one-onone relationship with students.” Chandra tries to avoid long lectures in her classes. To teach business theory, she assigns topics to various students who take turns leading discussions. Some of those discussions morph into conversations that last for decades. Others require a passport: Aruna Chandra took her Social Entrepreneurship class to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to visit entrepreneurs dedicated to improving the lives of the 1.4 million people residing in favelas, or shanty towns. Students learned first-hand about the vast disparity between the country’s rich and poor. They walked along the city’s well-kept beaches—and then through hillside favelas, with raw sewage in alleyways. “That smell will probably stick with me the most,” remembers Jaclin Huxford,

an insurance and risk management graduate and current MBA student from Clinton, Indiana. In social entrepreneurship, students discovered a new realm of possibilities for business start-ups. Social entrepreneurs develop self-sustaining businesses—not charities—that benefit the community. “Some people say that students are passive and this and that,” Chandra said. “I don’t buy that. I think we just need to challenge them in a different way.”

Expertise Customer Engagement, Market Research, Analytics, Cross-functional Team Leadership
“ At Indiana State you can make your learning experience what you want it to be. Education is not forcefed. It’s collaborative.”
Scott College professors helped Christi Hill discover her obsession with marketing research and shape it into a fulfilling career. “These are top faculty who could teach anywhere, but they stay at Indiana State because this school allows them to spend more time encouraging and inspiring students,” she says. Now an executive at Eli Lilly and Company, Hill is responsible for the pharmaceutical giant’s Customer Experience Strategy. She finds real meaning in her work: “I help employees understand how powerfully they contribute to the lives of others.”
Hill stays involved with Indiana State University because she cares about helping today’s students qualify for tomorrow’s leadership positions. She offers this advice: “Get involved! Indiana State offers immersive experiences that match up with specific needs in the business world. And take advantage of the Meis Student Development Center. They’ll teach you to talk about those experiences in a way that is relevant to employers.” 29

Through these immersive programs, we provide consulting, business support, research, hands-on education, and scholarship opportunities. We also sponsor a variety of speakers and events throughout the Wabash Valley, Indianapolis, nationally, and internationally that spotlight business. Networks Financial Institute The financial industry evolves rapidly, so it’s more important than ever for students to have a front row seat. The Networks Financial Institute fosters collaborative, cross-disciplinary relationships with financial industry executives and policy makers. With the goals of increasing financial literacy, enhancing decision-making skills and developing financial leaders, the NFI hosts an annual Insurance Public Policy summit in Washington D.C. and has even helped influence the Federal Insurance Office’s insurance regulations.

publish research projects, so that industry leaders can find the right person to meet their business needs.
Minas Center for Investment and Financial Education The Minas Center for Investment and Financial Education oversees the activities of the college’s financial trading room. An endowment keeps the technology current and covers career development resources. Additionally, the Student Investment Club manages a portfolio of nearly $500,000. Now that’s real-world experience.
Sycamore Student Ventures and Indiana Global Business Advisors Hands-on experience comes to life during these capstone courses. Students work directly with local businesses and nonprofits to develop businesses solutions pertaining to marketing, production, and other professional service areas. The exchange benefits students, businesses, and the community at large.
Sales and Negotiations Center The Sales and Negotiations Center serves students pursuing degrees in sales. Named as a “top sales university” by the Sales Education Foundation, the center also helped Indiana State become one of only 19 schools selected to be a member of the University Sales Center Alliance—a huge benefit for students when companies turn to the USCA to recruit new employees.
Executive Express A group of students launched the Executive Express Café, located inside Federal Hall, in 2009 for a class project. Today it’s run by a new group of senior students every semester, serving as a real-life learning lab for business strategy and implementation. It has since spawned two satellite projects: Tech Express Café and Sycamore Lunch Express.
Student Investment Club Members of the Student Investment Club monitor the New York Stock Exchange daily to observe stock prices and discuss topics related to investing. With a portfolio of nearly $500,000, the club is not merely about investment practice. It’s about making tough decisions, with real-life consequences. Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility Conference Led by a leadership team of students, the Networks Financial Institute hosts the annual Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility Conference every spring. Students handle the logistics of the conference and bring industry leaders to Indiana State to discuss what it looks like to achieve a successful and ethical career in business.
Small Business Development Center The West Central Indiana Small Business Development Center coaches entrepreneurs and small companies to articulate business goals and bring them to life through a well-managed business plan.

Accreditations and Recognitions Indiana State University’s Scott College of Business has been recognized for the tenth straight year (2014 edition) as one of the nation’s outstanding business schools by The Princeton Review. The high quality of our master of business administration program continues to draw attention from students in the program, as small classes, great teachers, good assistantships, and affordable tuition were cited as the reasons for its place among the best in the country. The MBA program also has one of the highest rankings in the country when it comes to student satisfaction. The program is one of 15 named to The Princeton Review’s “Student Opinion Honors for Business Schools” in the general management category. The honors list is one of six categories to appear in the April 2009 issue of Entrepreneur,
34
the nation’s leading publication for and about entrepreneurs. U.S. News & World Report recognized (2012 and 2011) Scott College of Business in the top tier ranking for “Best Business Programs.” Our undergraduate business program was ranked solely on a peer assessment survey conducted in spring 2011. To appear on the survey, programs must be accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Networks Financial Institute, an outreach of Scott College, garnered third place in the 2010 Innovation in Business Education Award by the Mid-Continent East Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
