Hallmarks
Teamwork
Progress through the entire sequence of courses with the same classmates. Our cohort model encourages interdependence and social support that often continues after the program is completed. An additional benefit is a strong professional network of contacts.Theories at work
Apply what you learned in class on Monday to a project at work on Tuesday. Our program is designed for real world application. Class discussions and readings are balanced with projects and case studies to demonstrate how theory is applied in the real world. A community learning segment of the program provides an additional hands-on opportunity to put theory to work.Emphasis on the human dimension of management
Effective leaders understand people and communicate effectively. We provide training to allow professionals to develop their "people skills" alongside their analytical skills.Designed for the working professional
Virtually all of our students continue to work while in our program. Our schedule, curriculum, and streamlined format cater to the needs of the working professional. Our program is mapped out so you can plan on all the details - dates, costs, requirements - in advance. We buy the books and schedule the classes. This allows you to spend more time applying what you learn and less time doing administrative tasks.Respect for the individual student
As a Christian university, George Fox seeks to develop the whole person, academically, socially, and spiritually. We limit our class sizes to ensure our experienced faculty give personal attention to each student.The world as classroom
Professionals today need to understand how globalization is affecting their organizations. We teach our students to take a global perspective into their workplace. MBA students can get a firsthand look at transnational corporations at work by participating in a weeklong international study trip.A mature and experienced student body
