The Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER), housed in the College of Business, serves as an additional point of contact between the college and the regional business community. The BBER will be a primary provider of timely and relevant business and economic information including economic forecasting at the regional level, information about important regional economic trends, and limited fee based business services. This administrative unit will facilitate additional grant based activity within the CoB and will help to transport ongoing economic research into the regional community.

The BBER also administers the Center for Economic Education that has its own unique purpose in the area of economic education.

The bureau’s focus will be in three major areas:

• Policy Issues
• Economic Forecasting 
• Economic Education
