NOTABLE FACULTY

Portland State University is fortunate to offer its graduate students a faculty of outstanding caliber and distinction, representing both nationally recognized scholarly research and business practice at the highest levels in some of the Northwest's largest and most successful corporations. This balance of theory and practice prepares students to understand the realities of today's business environment, and to challenge those realities with new and provocative thinking. The case method of instruction encourages students to defend their own decisions and recommendations, and relies on lively exchange between faculty and students.
