 Research and teaching are complimentary and equally important. Research contributes to the production of knowledge, while teaching is concerned with the distribution of knowledge in society. Teaching without research quickly becomes stereotyped, unexciting --removed from the ever growing frontiers of knowledge, while research without teaching becomes unintelligible and uncommunicative. Continuous interaction with fresh minds through teaching makes research more proactive and highly productive.
At the UTSA College of Business, we share a commitment to research and publications, which positions us well to absorb quality faculty and students. Research is part of a learning cycle, significantly contributing to the absorption of quality students and retention of quality faculty yielding an institution of higher learning that continuously strives for excellence.
UTSA College of Business faculty members are conducting research throughout a variety of disciplines and have been recognized by their peers for their accomplishments. The College of Business was recently ranked as one of the top 100 business schools nationwide according to the Business School Research Rankings compiled by the University of Texas at Dallas School of Management. The ranking is based on the research publications of business faculty members from 2009-2010.
Also, the Department of Marketing was ranked 46th nationally and the Department of Finance was ranked 89th nationally for their research publications according to UT Dallas research rankings for 2009-2011.
