Deployment of Turner College Business Faculty Across UG Academic Programs ― A Look at the Numbers

This post takes a look at the deployment of business faculty in the Turner College across each of its undergraduate academic programs, which include accounting, finance, management, marketing and MIS. The table below lists the names of the tenured and tenure-track faculty who are servicing each of the five majors. As indicated in the table, three accounting faculty, Jasmine Bordere, Charles Boster and Fonda Carter, constitute the corps of instruction for that academic major. An October 2025 post here at Turner Business indicates that this discipline currently has 87 majors, meaning that there are 29.0 accounting majors in the Turner College for each accounting professor.

Next, the table points out that four faculty, Joshua Brooks, Brett Cotten, Gisung Moon and Uma Sridharan, serve the 113 finance majors in the Turner College. This means that there are 28.3 finance majors in the Turner College for each finance professor. With 11 management faculty, including Phil Bryant, John Finley, Kirk Heriot, Johnny Ho, Kevin Hurt, Mark James, Deborah Kidder, Laurence Marsh, Tom Ngo, Robin Snipes and Neal Thomson, each Turner College management professor serves 14.5 of the Turner College's 159 management majors. Based on the management faculty count, it would take allocating half of the Turner College's 282 general business majors solely to management to achieve a majors per faculty count, in this case of 27.3 students, mirroring those for accounting and finance. Next, the corps of instruction in marketing consists of Sungwoo Jung and Ed O'Donnell. Based on the Turner College's 112 marketing majors, Jung and O'Donnell each serve 56.0 marketing majors. Lastly, Insung Hwang, Yoon Lee and Jennifer Pitts constitute the Turner College's corps of instruction in MIS. That discipline is home to 70 Turner College students, meaning that each of these professors serves 23.3 MIS majors.
