Meet Our Faculty
We’ve assembled research and teaching biographies of some of our graduate faculty below. They are organized by college affiliation. Though some may be in a different college than your Beacom College home, they may be able to help you with your dissertation or other research ideas. Please browse through the list as you like. If you find a faculty that would be a good addition to your dissertation committee, please discuss that idea with your advisor and dissertation chair. We all want to help you reach your career goals if we can.
