The mission of CIU’s School of Business and Professional Studies is to train and equip
“Ministering Professionals” to impact the marketplace with the message of Christ. Our
students and graduates are already making a difference, with
many owning their own businesses, or working in or managing
local and international ministries, organizations and
businesses. Now more than ever, practical and marketable
business skills, together with a strong Biblical foundation, are
essential for success in any profession.
Our
Business Administration
major will prepare and equip
you to effectively lead and manage organizations anywhere in
the world, including for-profit enterprises, not-for-profit
organizations, and governmental and international non-

positively impact and lead traditional ministry, church and
mission organizations. In addition, the
Healthcare

organizations, and sports venues.
All curriculum and programs in CIU’s School of Business and Professional Studies immerse
students in the timeless principles and cutting-edge processes essential for success! Our
students have opportunities to develop and explore entrepreneurship ideas and ideals,
community business collaboration, practical and vocational business and leadership
techniques, personal professional development opportunities, and obtain the resources to form
their own business or ministry. Besides being trained to establish and lead organizations and
ministries, our students are also equipped to pursue graduate education in such areas as public
administration, accounting and finance, healthcare, international business, insurance and risk
management, law, sport management, and organizational leadership.
