Approved May 22, 2020

Vision

The Fogelman College of Business and Economics (FCBE) empowers a diverse student body by providing world-class business educational experiences and contributes to the economic vitality and global competitiveness of Memphis and Mid-South region through our research, teaching, and outreach.

Mission
