Academic excellence, preparation for a competitive market... and a faithful approach to Christian liberal arts. Here, you don’t have to choose.
Your interest in economics and business is just the beginning... and at ÌÇÐÄÔ´´, you don’t have to start with all the answers.
From careers in marketing to finance, public policy to accounting, figuring out the road ahead can leave a lot of questions — and options — to figure out. We believe that faithfully finding your path begins with a Christian liberal arts education in economics and business.
Here’s how:
We equip you with a right-sized major anchored in the liberal arts, giving you plenty of time to explore a variety of paths for your future. We provide a rigorous foundation in economics and business (one that prepares you for a competitive market), but don’t overbuild requirements in a way that sacrifices exploration or breadth.
You are able to faithfully discern your calling and vocation as part of a four-year process — through academic excellence, hands-on experiences and applied skill development. It’s why we offer 9+ co-curricular programs in a variety of business disciplines, multiple off-campus trips, professional-level workshops and experiential learning for all.
We surround you with a community of professors, alumni and professionals who know and support you, preparing you to be anchored in community for life. Our students engage with 500+ professionals each year, yet are personally known with our 1:1 student to professional ratio, small classes and networking opportunities that are always scaled to ÌÇÐÄÔ´´â€™s size.
We invite you into intellectual and intentional engagement with the Christian faith in our courses and scholarship. It’s a commitment that drives our entire approach — helping you faithfully discern your calling while preparing you for purposeful change and impact.
