Faculty Information
We believe that business can honor God and people while still making a profit. Our mission is to prepare a new generation of business leaders with the business and technical acumen, soft skills, and ethical grounding to successfully live out their purpose in the modern marketplace. We prepare our graduates to contribute to society’s need for trustworthy organizational leaders who restore hope that business has a valuable role in our world. Because we are created in the image of God and He has good work for us to do, we affirm that business is to create and supply with integrity the products and services that meet the needs of people everywhere. In this pursuit, we teach our students that personal development, profit, and economic growth are at their best when they energize the creation of value in individual lives, families, neighborhoods, communities, and thriving enterprises.
The School of Business provides a variety of programs that prepare students to be competitive in the workforce. Undergraduate majors include Business Administration, Marketing, Accounting, Finance, Organizational Leadership, and Entrepreneurship. Concentrations within the Business Administration major include: Strategic Business Analysis and Insights, Logistics and Operations, Management, Finance, Family Business Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Entrepreneurship, Management, Real Estate, and Human Resource Management.
In addition to courses that provide students with in-depth strategic, theoretical, and leadership skills, students experience real-world application through hands-on, applied projects with local companies and non-profit organizations. Additional learning opportunities within the School of Business include its various clubs, such as the Accounting Society, Professional Sales and Marketing Club, and Investment Group, as well as events and networking opportunities throughout the academic year. All these enable students to connect with business leaders and mentors. Students can also take advantage of the school’s employer connections to obtain internships and working experience.
Upon graduation, many of our students can easily further their graduate studies in the School of Business with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with concentrations in Accounting, Healthcare Administration, and Management. The MBA is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP). Students in the MBA program participate in a global business trip experience with faculty and their colleagues as part of their tuition. Graduates are employed as executives, accountants, financial managers, business owners, entrepreneurs, marketing professionals, government officials and non-profit leaders. The School of Business also offers the Master of Science in Information Technology Management with concentrations in Business Analytics, and Information Systems. The Business Analytics concentration provides each student with SAS certification upon completion of their program.
