鈥淲e are actively seeking and hope to hire a dean for the school by spring,鈥� said Lawrence M. Schall, the university鈥檚 president. 鈥淥ur plan is to grow the Hammack School of Business as a means of connecting students with the Atlanta business community in even deeper ways than they already are.鈥�
K体育 currently has a business division, which offers degrees in business administration, human resources management and accounting, with specialty programs in marketing and finance. The impetus to establish a full-fledged business school came from informal discussions over the past several years between Schall and OU alumnus Q.
