Mission & Learning Outcomes
4. Meet approval of the faculty of the Crowell School of Business. The process will require an interview.
Biola University, through its Crowell School of Business, is nationally accredited by the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs to offer a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree with concentrations in the following: accounting, information systems, international business, management and marketing. Each program is structured to give the student broad understanding of the social and economic environment in which Christian business persons function, and provides a common body of knowledge for students who select this major. Students study economics, finance, management, business law, accounting, and marketing as the core of the major based upon quantitative management skills. The five individual concentrations prepare students through additional specified courses to enter a career field in those areas, or to select a graduate school upon graduation. It is the purpose of the Crowell School of Business to prepare highly skilled, technically competent business persons who have broad preparation in the liberal arts as well, and who can make significant contributions in the workplace or in Christian organizations they may serve.
5. Prior to formal admission, students shall continue to be advised as pre–business majors.
International Business Institute
Biola University is a participating member of the International Business Institute (IBI), an overseas study program founded and taught by committed Christian faculty for the purpose of combining rigorous academic study in international business and economics with international field experience. The ten–week summer program includes several periods of extended classroom time in key locations as well as coordinated visits to organizations of major political and economic significance in Eastern Europe, Western Europe and Russia. Applications are accepted in the fall and interested students can obtain information and forms from Dr. Steve Rundle (steve.rundle@biola.du) in the Crowell School of Business. Upon approval by Biola and IBI, students will register through Messiah College and will need to provide a transcript to Biola for transfer credit. Biola students attend the International Business Institute independent of Biola and transfer the credit upon completion of the program. All fees are paid directly to the IBI. Students are required to complete substitution request forms prior to departure.
