Department of Business Administration
The purpose of the Business Administration Department is to equip men and women with the skills necessary to succeed in life and ministry. We offer a unique experience with experienced and successful business professionals in the classrooms who integrate their “real world” experiences into the material. Our professors discuss their successes and failures so students can learn from both.
