Business

Associate of Science Degree: Business

This two-year program will enable the student to develop the character and skills
necessary for efficiency as an accounting clerk, office manager, or other office worker. The
increasing demand by our denominational offices, churches, and Christian schools for bookkeepers and business managers calls for the integrated preparation that a Bible-centered
business curriculum offers. This kind of education is equally valuable to those who serve
as Christian witnesses in the business world.

The program is structured to allow for different emphases in the Business concentration,
according to one’s interests, abilities, and goals. Within the 9 hours of BU electives indicated
below, the student may focus, for example, on management, accounting, or economics.

All graduates of this program should be able to:
(1) demonstrate Christian principles, values, and responsible stewardship in life and work;
(2) demonstrate, in large measure, the same Biblical proficiency described in the objectives of the Bible major (page 49);
(3) communicate and work effectively with others;
(4) use fundamental computer skills;
(5) apply basic accounting principles to the needs of the office;
(6) demonstrate fundamental skills appropriate for the area of emphasis chosen.
