Dr. Childs is an expert on U.S. and international food businessesand food label policy, and on the increase in obesity in the United States. “Food labeling will accelerate in importance forconsumers as more companies claim health benefits in theirproducts, because we’re so desperate to fight the obesity trendand the chronic diseases of aging,” she notes.

Dr. Jambulingam studies the pharmaceutical industry within thebroader context of the entire healthcare system and maintains that the industry has a vital role to play in the delivery of better,more efficient, affordable, and safer care. “Each year, 1.5 millionpeople are affected by medical errors. Efforts currently beingmade to fix this problem carry a $6-7 billion price tag. Pharma hasto take an active role in providing information to patients.”

The primary commitment of faculty in the Haub School of Business is to help students learn to think beyond their own expectations. To this end, every faculty member is expected to contribute tothe academic environment through effective teaching, active student advising, service to the University,

and intellectual contributions that reach a wider audience.So, while the individual expertise of Haub School faculty manifests itself

“ Saint Joseph’s University has assembled a world class MBA program in the Jesuit tradition of excellence, which I was fortunate enough to have graduated from at the beginning of my career. There is an entrepreneurial spirit to the curriculum that encourages participation, open thinking, meaningful dialogue and practical problem solving. My fellow students drew from a wide range of experiences, which added an unexpected dimension to my studies. The faculty armed me with the skill sets that I needed to achieve success, and I was taught to think strategically. Beyond that, the program shaped my perspective on both life and business values. I would strongly encourage anyone who is contemplating pursuing an MBA program to put Saint Joseph’s at the top of his or her list.”

I have been successful throughout my career due to my dual skillset of business and technical capabilities. When I decided tofurther my education with a graduate degree, I searched for aprogram that would provide formal education in both arenas.

The MS in BI (DSS) provides such a dual focus. Technical courses are taught with an eye toward howbusiness can utilize the technology, while the business

concentration courses enable students to enhance theirknowledge of a specific business area.

I know that the knowledge that I have gained fromthe program will help me in my quest forcontinued advancement in the future. I would recommend this program to anyone

who is seeking to develop or refine theirskills in the realm of business technology.”

“ I had actually started my master’s at another university and decided to transfer to Saint Joseph’s since the curriculum included courses in finance. As human resources continues to evolve as a profession, it is critical that HR professionals gain knowledge outside of their functional area that will allow them to partner with senior leadership in a strategic planning role. The combined MBA, Finance, and HR courses will provide an expanded organizational perspective for students and employees.”
