The MDiv/MBA program is designed to enhance the administrative skills and expertise of ministers by permitting them to earn a second degree, the MBA, instead of the usual MDiv concentration. The program has three potential student populations in view: (1) the minister who desires greater expertise in business administration, (2) the church administrator in a large church, or (3) the bi-vocational minister.
An undergraduate business degree is not required for admission to the Master of Business Administration program, but specific prerequisite course material is required. A minimum grade of “C” is required for all prerequisites. The following general business prerequisites are required.
Accounting Principles I
Accounting Principles II
Principles of Finance
Microeconomics
Macroeconomics
Principles of Marketing
Information Systems or Excel proficiency
Business Statistics
Management Science
The assessment of the MDiv/MBA dual degree is performed within the School of Divinity (MDiv) and the College of Business (MBA) using the set of program outcomes associated with each part of the degree.
