Mission Statement
Developing business leaders to fulfill their purpose in Christ and society.
Developing business leaders is central to the mission of the McAfee School of Business. Academic excellence is fundamental to developing people who are strong in their functional area and leaders in business. In the McAfee School of Business, we focus on disciplinary knowledge and high impact practices such as collaborative projects, research, community-based learning, internships, and course projects. Being future-directed, we believe business leaders will develop from functional knowledge and opportunities to practice business with faculty supervision.
Business provides a unique opportunity for leaders to fulfill their purpose in Christ. Paul spent time in the marketplace (Acts 17:17) so that he might join in conversation with the people of his day. To prepare our students to be Christ-centered in the modern-day marketplace we focus on faith integration, which includes faith practices such as modeling Christ-like business decisions, integrating Biblical lessons with business, developing meaningful interactions with students, and praying for students.
The people-focus of the McAfee School of Business is demonstrated through strong student--faculty interaction and faith integration which prepare students to fulfill their purpose in society. This is exhibited through the development of programs based upon business community needs, superior career outcomes, and the ongoing success of our students.
