The New Faculty Building
From its establishment, the Faculty had been at the temporary site, sharing a building with Faculty of Engineering. In 2009, the Faculty relocated to its building complex in the permanent site.
PhD, MBA, M.Sc. Programmes
The four functional areas have started running PhD and M.Sc. programmes. Departments of Management and Marketing have graduated PhDs while Accounting and Finance/Banking will soon produce theirs. The M.Sc. programmes in all the departments will get their first graduates in 2011.
Expansion of the Faculty
In order to meet the growing needs of other areas of specialty in business which are not sufficiently covered by the existing functional areas, the faculty has expanded its programmes to include Hospitality Management and Tourism, with its building complex completed. Also, the Department of Entrepreneurship is about to be approved for the Faculty and the work on the academic content is at its final stage in the Senate Committee on Academic Programmes and Policies (SCAPP). The faculty also runs a linkage programme with Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (ACIB/B.SC. Linkage Programme) leading to award of B.sc. degree in Financial Banking.
Entrepreneurship Centre
Following the directive of the Federal Government that Entrepreneurship Education be introduced in University Curriculum for all students irrespective of course of study, the Faculty of Management Sciences now teaches this course in all the departments of the University of Port Harcourt.
In line with the above directive, the Faculty now has a functional Entrepreneurship Centre, housed in a befitting building complex and headed by the director.
