Program Overview

The Jessup MBA equips graduates to be highly-competent, principled and innovative leaders in business and society. The MBA curriculum is relevant, quantitative and applicable for servant-leaders in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations (churches, para-church ministries, healthcare, government organizations). The ethical framework integrated throughout the curriculum makes the Jessup MBA intentionally distinct. The substantive and vital management skills of planning, controlling, decision making and organizational leadership are developed and strategically applied throughout the program pairing biblical principles with best practices from the marketplace.
