2012-2013 Undergraduate Programs
Purpose
The purpose of the Business & Organizational
Leadership (BOL) program is to prepare students
for effective leadership in business and organiza-
tions anywhere in the world. Graduates will be
able to perform successfully within a variety of
for-profit enterprises, not-for-profit organizations,
and international nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs).
Combined with CIU’s Bible and theology core and
its general ministry skills requirement, students
will be distinctively equipped for global service as
leaders engaging the marketplace and traditional
ministry from an ethical leadership perspective
and a biblical worldview.
The BOL major develops the practical skills and
core competencies required for the challenges of
business and organizational dynamics and sys-
tems in both domestic and international settings.
The major immerses students in the timeless prin-
ciples and cutting-edge processes that are essen-
tial for maximum effectiveness in creating and
managing businesses, in leading and developing
others, and in forming and building high-perfor-
mance teams and organizations. Beyond devel-
oping their own skills and competencies,
graduates are equipped to pursue graduate edu-
cation in areas such as business administration,
accounting and finance, international business, or
organizational leadership.
Objectives
By completing the BOL major, each graduate of
the program will be able to:
•
Demonstrate basic proficiency in essential busi-
ness and organizational skills in order to enter a
business or non-profit organization at an entry
level, or to launch a business enterprise.
•
Demonstrate how one’s training in business and
organizational leadership is strategic in the con-
text of the various communities and cultures in
which one serves.
•
Devise a personal philosophy of business and
organizational leadership that integrates a bibli-
cally-based, Christian worldview that can be
used in any community or cultural setting.
