Strategic management and business communication
Organizations rise and fall on the quality of their management. The Management concentration prepares you to be the kind of leader who builds healthy teams, makes sound decisions, and keeps an organization moving toward its goals — whether that’s a company, a nonprofit, or a ministry.
On top of the full business core, you’ll add eighteen credits focused on leading people and organizations: Communication Strategy in Business, Small Business Management, Organizational Behavior, Human Resource Management, Management of Non-Profit Organizations, and Strategic Management. You’ll graduate ready to manage teams and operations with both competence and the people-first conviction a Biblical Worldview brings.

Management is fundamentally about people — and a Biblical Worldview reshapes how you lead the people in your care.
Leadership as Service
Scripture's picture of leadership is service, not status — the leader as someone who works for the good of those they lead. That reframes management from controlling people to developing and serving them.
Forms a management style built on serving your team, not just directing it.
The Dignity of Work and Workers
Every employee is an image-bearer, not a resource to be optimized. Seeing people that way changes how you hire, evaluate, correct, and care for the people you manage.
Grounds your HR and people decisions in dignity and fairness.
Stewardship of an Organization
A manager stewards an organization's mission, resources, and people. Faithful stewardship — not just hitting targets — becomes the measure of leading well.
