Master of Business Administration
Welcome to the Grace College Master of Business Administration Online Degree program, which provides a curriculum and environment where current and future business professionals are transformed through the study of business from a distinctly biblical perspective.
Our online MBA program understands business from a distinctly biblical perspective. The first course in the curriculum constructs this Christian perspective foundation, while the courses that follow further develop this perspective. The first divine instructions include commands to subdue and have dominion over God’s creation (Genesis 1:26, 28) and to work and keep God’s garden (Genesis 2:15). These commands are further developed in other scriptural passages, they remain in effect to this day, and they endow the practice of business with theological significance.
The Grace College Master of Business Administration degree is constructed and courses are delivered with an intentionally applied emphasis. Consistent with learning-by-doing, course assignments allow students to use their knowledge from the course concepts and apply them in their current employment setting. This allows students to quickly develop an initial proficiency with the concepts being covered. It also allows students to demonstrate to their employers the value-added nature of the Grace College School of Business program.
