What to Expect from Grace’s Online Business Program

Grace Christian University’s online business degree focuses on four pillars: business as mission, personal mastery, business acumen, and cultural intelligence. These pillars guide the curriculum, preparing you to lead with integrity and apply knowledge in real-world settings.

Expect to take courses such as:

  • Introduction to Finance: Learn financial markets, risk, and capital flow fundamentals.
  • Accounting I & II: Master principles from financial statements to payroll.
  • Principles of Management: Understand leadership and workforce management through faith.
  • Operations Management: Explore business processes from a strategic viewpoint.
  • Strategic Management: Develop skills to create and implement decisions for success.

Our faculty bring real-world experience into the classroom. Dr. Matthew DeYoung, Chair of the MBA Program, emphasizes faith and business integration. “At Grace, business is about serving others, reflecting Christ in leadership, and honoring God in decision-making,” says Dr. DeYoung. “We equip students with both business skills and a biblical foundation.”

Transforming Lives Through Business

Students in Grace’s online business program often share how the program transforms their professional and spiritual lives. Here’s what a few students have to say:

  • Alex B.: “Grace Christian University helped me grow spiritually and in my business knowledge. The program equipped me to serve God through business.”
  • Jane M.: “The flexibility to study at my own pace was crucial. Professors were available for prayer and mentorship.”

Learn. Grow. Serve.

At Grace Christian University, education extends beyond the classroom. We guide students through three key pillars: learn, grow, and serve.

  • Learn: Your education at Grace will be grounded in biblical truth. In addition to business courses, you’ll take Bible and Theology classes. These will equip you to defend your faith and apply it in the workplace. Whether learning finance or management, your education is enriched by a faith-based perspective. Proverbs 1:5 (ESV) says, “Let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance.”
  • Grow: Personal and spiritual growth is at the heart of your experience. Class discussions, professor mentorship, and peer interaction will challenge you to grow academically and as a servant leader. 2 Peter 3:18 reminds us to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
  • Serve: Service is a cornerstone at Grace Christian University. You’ll apply what you learn in real-world situations, serving your community, church, or workplace. 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV) reminds us, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others.”
