2016-2017 COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES
BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP MAJOR
Purpose
The purpose of the Business & Organizational Leadership (BOL) program is to prepare students for effective leadership in
business and organizations 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 Columbia International University’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 for 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 systems in domestic and international settings. The major immerses students in the timeless
principles and cutting-edge processes that are essential for maximum effectiveness in creating and managing businesses,
leading and developing other businesses, and forming and building high-performance teams and organizations. Beyond
developing their own professional skills and competencies, graduates are equipped to pursue graduate education 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 business and organizational skills in order to enter a business or non-
profit organization at a managerial or leadership level, or to launch a business enterprise.
•
Demonstrate how one’s training in business and organizational leadership is strategic and sustainable in the
context of the various communities and cultures in which one serves.
•
Devise a personal philosophy of business and organizational leadership that integrates a biblically-based,
Christian worldview that can be used in any community or cultural setting.
