Godbold School of Business



Professors

Gardner-Webb University’s Godbold School of Business provides students with a unique learning environment where a high standard of excellence embraces integrity as much as knowledge and skills.   In addition to world-class skill development in business, students build up their ethics skills and credibility which will enable them to become true leaders in today’s society.  We provide both undergraduate and graduate programs to develop leaders with business skills that can be used across all industries.   Our small class sizes allow professors to give individual attention to each student.  Our state-of-the-art computer equipment and classrooms facilitate hands-on exercises and experiential learning.  Our flexible curriculum gives students space to explore their own interests and potentials.

At Gardner-Webb University’s Godbold School of Business, we strive to accommodate each student’s learning needs.  In addition to the traditional undergraduate Broyhill School of Management and Graduate School of Business programs, we also offer the Degree Completion Program with 16 satellite centers for working professionals and part time students.  With the support of the NOEL program, we are known for providing education opportunities for students with disabilities and special learning needs.
