Mission and Vision
The School of Business at Medgar Evers College of the City University of New York (CUNY) cultivates a dynamic, inclusive learning environment that prepares students to lead, innovate, and excel in a competitive global economy. Rooted in the legacy of our uniquely designed Predominantly Black Institution (PBI)—shaped by the Civil Rights Movement, the cultural heritage of Central Brooklyn, and the social justice values of Medgar Wiley Evers—we empower diverse learners to achieve academic excellence and make meaningful contributions to their communities, government, and industries.
Committed to producing ethical, socially conscious, and innovative business and government leaders, we equip students with the skills to address challenges, seize opportunities, and promote equity in the world of business and government. Through rigorous academic programs, impactful research, experiential learning, and strategic partnerships, the School of Business advances economic empowerment and social justice while inspiring students to reach their fullest potential.
Building upon these strong pillars, our vision is to become a globally recognized hub for academic excellence, groundbreaking research, and community partnerships. We strive to cultivate the next generation of business and government professionals who act with integrity, embrace collaboration, and lead with purpose—driving positive change and shaping a more equitable, sustainable future.
