Master of Christian Business Administration

The Master of Christian Business Administration is designed for Christian professionals, in secular missions, whose career and management responsibilities exceed a single functional specialty, and who require higher levels of knowledge and skills in the field to sharpen their competency spectrum. The emphasis is on providing students with an interdisciplinary, integrated, and applied approach where complex organizational knowledge and managerial skills are mastered. This program objective is meant to provide an executive-level of critical thinking and systematic thought, team building, decision making, and leadership.

The curriculum includes pre-determined core courses with an emphasis on integrating theological concepts into the business sphere; a specialization track that focuses on the student's area of ​​practice and finally a research track culminating in a master's thesis.

For purposes of this specialization, every student may opt for any combination of graduate-level elective courses to choose an academic concentration that fits their missional callings. Available specializations include: Christian Entrepreneurship, Workplace Ministry and Church Leadership/planting.

Every course has an emphasis on ethical business behaviour and conduct as well as responsible business practices in an increasingly pluralistic, global society. As with our other programs, there is a strong emphasis on Biblical values and Theological education. Courses in the Business major will be taught through the lenses of Christian principles.

This program is a 45 semester postgraduate credits, offered entirely online and in a self-paced mode. Applications are received on a rolling basis, while prior learning may also apply as credits.
