Ken Williams

Associate Teaching Professor of Business Administration

My professional career began as a commercial loan officer for a major commercial banking institution in the Detroit metropolitan area. I provided credit and non-credit banking services to small businesses and non-profit organizations. I subsequently became a deputy director for a non-profit organization specializing in business and economic development, as well as human services. I entered the field of higher education in 1998. I teach both undergraduate and graduate finance and accounting courses, both on campus and online formats.

Overall, my teaching philosophy is to add value to my students. My desire is for every student with whom I come into contact to be the best in their profession. I desire my students to be highly proficient in their fields, strive for excellence in all that they do, and exhibit the highest standards of integrity and ethical behavior. I want my students to enjoy the learning process and become lifelong learners. To achieve these goals, I believe in active learning strategies that allow bridging theory and real-world applications. I believe in mutual respect where mutual learning exists between me and my students. Finally, I believe in continuous improvement, where I evaluate my teaching methods and incorporate improvements based on my experience with every class of students.
