Global Perspective
It's imperative for today's professionals to understand the effect of globalization on organizations and how to communicate and thrive in a diverse environment. We teach our students about recognizing, working within, and adapting to globalization in business through our curriculum, week-long international study trips, and diverse cohort.
Some of the countries our current students and alumni hail from include: Venezuela, Congo, India, El Salvador, Cameroon, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Libya, China, Mongolia, Kenya, Canada, Russia and Mexico.
Values and the Human Side of Business
There is more to business than the bottom line. As a Christian university, the George Fox College of Business seeks to develop the whole person – academically, socially and spiritually. Our MBA program's primary task is preparing managers and leaders with deeply ethical worldviews who will perform at increasingly responsible levels in their organizations.
While we cover the core topics of a master of business administration program – including quantitative methods, finance and strategy – we have a strong focus on values-informed development, leadership and soft skills.
Soft skills are a combination of skills in:
- Communication
- Presentation
- Critical thinking
- Decision making
- Emotional and cultural intelligence
- Leadership
