Program Overview
Business is part of God's good creation and impacts the world in significant ways. In short, people all over the world have their "daily bread" needs such as food, drink, work, clothing, and shelter met through business. In that sense, business is the engine of society and a major means by which God showers goodness on the world. Given this fundamental reality, Covenant prepares students to pursue careers in enterprise with a Christian worldview and to be agents of prosperity, stewardship, and renewal in the business sphere of God's world.
The business major is primarily designed to prepare students for careers in the for-profit industry; however, some graduates have also pursued careers in non-profit organizations. Business majors may gain optional specialization by completing a concentration in accounting, finance, or marketing. Students with a major other than in business may minor in business.
