The B.B.A. in Entrepreneurship and Innovation equips students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to effectively explore new, uncertain ideas. Students learn to identify opportunities, craft value propositions, design business models, create prototypes, execute experiments to validate ideas with customers in the market, and grow profitable businesses. Through a Christ-centered curriculum, students explore how entrepreneurial pursuits bring glory to God and how business can be a vehicle for redemption.
