We embrace Drucker’s core belief that responsible management is the backbone of a functioning society. Further, we believe that firms and managers must prioritize human thriving in their organizations and focus on both purpose and performance—ideas that are more important now than ever.  Our class sizes are small and, as a result, the classroom is a more personalized experience.  More details about our school, its vision, mission, and goals can be found in our most recent strategic plan (https://www.cgu.edu/school/drucker-school-of-management/about/strategic-plan/).
