Six Focused Courses
18 credits, all built around starting and running a business
Some people don’t want to climb someone else’s ladder — they want to build their own. The Entrepreneurship concentration is for students who plan to start a business, lead a startup, or take over a family venture, and want the skills to do it well.
On top of the full business core, you’ll add eighteen credits aimed squarely at building and running a company: Entrepreneurship, Small Business Management, Principles of Leadership, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, and Strategic Management. You’ll learn how to turn an idea into a viable business, lead the people who make it run, and think strategically about where it’s headed — all framed by a Biblical Worldview that treats business as service and stewardship.

Creating Value, Not Just Wealth

Grounds your decisions in responsibility, not just ambition.
