Program Description:

Christian faith and ethics are woven into our hybrid online/on-campus program that prepares executives, consultants and professors. Students gain expertise in a variety of business disciplines, with a unique focus on the integration of Christian faith and ethics into instruction and practice.

Students complete courses in three core areas of study: business, research and education (which includes a teaching practicum). In addition, Doctor of Business Administration students choose a Management or Marketing concentration for in-depth study.

Equipping students to teach, research business practices
Students study learning and development theory and learn how to apply effective pedagogical tactics, techniques and styles in the classroom. They become effective researchers and discriminating consumers of research and well-versed in global business trends and their implications for business practice and classroom instruction.

Hybrid and online formats
Doctor of Business Administration course work continues year-round, through spring, summer and fall semesters. Courses are delivered in both hybrid and online formats. Online courses are conducted entirely over the Internet, while hybrid courses include an on-campus residency.

Residencies near Portland, Ore.
Students should expect to come to our Newberg, Ore., campus (near Portland) for three four-day residencies per year. These are broken into two sessions so students only come to campus twice per year (one of the residencies is back-to-back) during their three years of course work. The program follows a cohort model for all core classes. Dissertation work takes place during the fourth year.
