Building the future of business education.

Academic degrees are a means to an end. Scott's focus is on maximizing each student's return on their investment and serving employers well by preparing graduates for a constantly changing, global economy. It's a formula that translates into flourishing for individuals and society.

Innovation in academic business programs comes from listening — to students and to employers. Scott makes it a priority to get off campus to meet with business leaders and apply those conversations to academic models. The result is curriculum that's grounded in real-world demands, not academic tradition for its own sake.

An economist by training, Scott has spent his career actively engaged in understanding and advocating for policies that support dynamic economies — the kind that best allow businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive. But, while policies are integral, he believes that people — innovative, creative, and dedicated business leaders — are the lifeblood of any economy.

Business schools have an enormous responsibility and role in preparing the next generation to change the world through business. It's a responsibility that Scott feels honored to have, and one that he doesn't take lightly. The next generation of leaders depends on educators to help set them up for success.

As the country struggles with how to address the skyrocketing cost of higher education, Scott is committed to being part of the solution. He has consistently proven that making academic degrees affordable and accessible does not mean sacrificing quality. It just requires responding to the modern marketplace, integrating the latest technologies, and not being afraid to drop the status quo.
