The Haub School prepares students for the future of business by teaching them the critical thinking and lifelong learning skills necessary to remain agile in the face of change.

“The one thing that stays constant is the importance of a liberal arts foundation,” says Dean Joseph A. DiAngelo, EdD ’70. “Corporations hire our students because of their writing and critical thinking skills; they have a robust foundation in the business disciplines and a strong moral compass.”

Combined with a competitive cooperative education program, innovative degrees and connections to global companies, Haub is preparing its graduates for careers that don’t even exist yet, says DiAngelo.

“We’ve always taught healthcare and pharmaceuticals, but now we’re not just talking about the marketing or branding — now we can get into the development of products,” DiAngelo explains. “The merger also has implications for disciplines like data analytics and health informatics; it’s opening up a whole new horizon for our programs.

Dean Spotlight

Joseph A. DiAngelo, EdD '70

Saint Joseph’s-educated Dean Joseph A. DiAngelo, EdD '70, has been at the helm of the Haub School of Business since 2000. Under his leadership, the school has doubled its enrollment over the last two decades, making Haub the largest Jesuit business school in the country with more than 2,600 undergraduates and 1,300 graduates and ranking the college among top business schools worldwide.

For DiAngelo, the accolades ultimately boil down to student outcomes.

“Our students are smart, they’re inquisitive, they’re hardworking. At the end of the day, it’s their success, the impact they make in their careers and their contributions to society — that’s what makes me proud,” he says.

DiAngelo serves on the board of the Faith in the Future Foundation, with oversight of the high schools in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Previously, he was chair of the AACSB board of directors — the second-ever Jesuit dean in the role — and served as a board member on the Pennsylvania Intergovernmental Cooperation Authority. A professor of management and expert in human resource management, DiAngelo’s research has been published in numerous management and HR journals.
