Message From Dean Pyke

David Pyke began his tenure as dean of the School of Business Administration at the University of San Diego in 2008, after having previously served as associate dean at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business. Dean Pyke’s research interests include manufacturing strategy, supply chain management, inventory management, production planning and control, reverse logistics, e-commerce and manufacturing in China. He holds a PhD from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.   See Dean Pyke's blog to see what is currently happening in the School of Business Administration from his perspective.

For four decades our mission at the School of Business Administration has been to educate business leaders of the highest caliber and integrity, and to prepare them to succeed in a diverse, globally integrated world.  The San Diego MBA Advantage is built upon:

• A broad-based, rigorous curriculum focused on developing socially responsible and globally-minded leaders
• Real-world skills acquired through case studies, executive guest speakers and consulting projects at leading organizations in San Diego and beyond
• Short- and long-term study abroad opportunities around the world
• Small class sizes that allow for personal attention, strategic thinking and collaborative teamwork

Management education, correctly, has been called upon to reexamine its mission and practices, and, I believe, our program is ideally poised to provide the right skill set for the next generation of business leaders to engage in sustainable value creation.  San Diego MBA students also have access to a dynamic alumni network, and enjoy all of the benefits of belonging to a collegial and culturally diverse campus community.

I invite you to learn more about the San Diego MBA through these pages, and, of course, to visit our beautiful campus to see how we live our values and educate the next generation of leaders.

Sincerely yours,

 

David F. Pyke
Dean
