Business
What makes a Christian business person stand out in the marketplace?
A general degree in business, tied into Redeemer's interdisciplinary programs, sets students up to be successful employees and entrepreneurs. Skills are honed, theories and concepts are practiced, but what sets students apart is their work ethic, grounded in a Biblical framework that prepares them to be successful business people who are innovatively and creatively seeking new ways to shape and reflect Christ in the workplace.
Business is a Bachelor of Arts degree. It is offered as a major and as a minor.
Right from the start, the Redeemer School of Business equips you with strong analytical and decision-making skills, the ability to communicate clearly and succinctly, and a Biblically-based ethical framework.
Your first- and second-year courses introduce you to the different disciplines within business studies — like marketing, management, and accounting — before digging deeper into a variety of topics. You have the flexibility to design a program tailored to your specific interest while also getting a broad and balanced understanding of all business disciplines.
Business The Core
The Core Curriculum is a set of 10 courses that every student takes. The courses are woven through every major and get you to think deeply and broadly about what you’re studying. Think about it this way…
- Entrepreneurs who understand historical trends and are effective collaborators are more successful in their business ventures.
- Managers are more capable leaders when they understand their responsibilities to customers, employees, and their communities.
- Accountants interpret data more effectively when they understand the people and processes behind it.
- Marketers analyze target markets more strategically when they understand social and demographic trends.

In the Classroom
In your classes, you will build a solid foundation across the disciplines in courses like Management Information Systems, Business Ethics, and Entrepreneurship. Small classes taught by dedicated professors who are experts in their field mean you will conduct and critically assess research as you review the methods, concepts and findings of contemporary business practices.
Beyond Campus
Senior students have the opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge in a local business where they have integrated exposure to all aspects of the organization under the supervision of experts in the field.
