Lakeland University School of Business, Science & Technology

J. Garland Schilcutt School of Business, Science & Technology

J. Garland SchilcuttStudents enrolled in the J. Garland Schilcutt School of Business, Science & Technology will be challenged to demonstrate the habits of mind and character established by Professor Schilcutt. These challenges include knowledge of the business discipline, craft, and the larger context in which they operate. Students will also obtain an urbane awareness of the world combined with ethics that include subordination of self-interest for the common good and to the best interest of Lakeland University and its students.

Known affectionately as "Prof" to most who knew him, J. Garland Schilcutt arrived at Lakeland in January of 1958. He retired from full-time teaching at Lakeland in 2015, having served 57 years, the longest tenure of any employee in the institution's history. Though Schilcutt’s academic and programmatic contributions to Lakeland were enormous, they were dwarfed by the impact he had on the lives of individual students. To remember his vast impact, the Board of Trustees dedicated Lakeland's business school to Schilcutt, renaming the school after him in the fall of 2018.

Today, the faculty in Lakeland’s School of Business, Science & Technology do their best to honor "Prof" by continuing to prepare students for their careers after graduation. The majors within this school offer practical, career-based skill development within a liberal arts environment that teaches students the soft skills that today’s employers are consistently seeking.

We prepare students for the rigors of the workforce, professional schools or graduate schools. These opportunities work around your schedule, so feel free to join a sport, the band, the choir, the play, student organizations or one of our many program-specific organizations.
