Program Overview

Dordt University’s Master of Business Administration program is designed to equip those called to service in the for-profit and nonprofit sector with the tools of stewardship, servant leadership, and discernment needed to achieve success in business administration management and leadership roles.

Dordt's MBA program will help you articulate biblical norms for business and how they differ from prevailing business practices, demonstrate ways to individually and communally shape business in a God-glorifying manner, and discern the proper use of talents, tendencies, and challenges to serve the whole person.

"More than anything, I am so grateful for how relevant the coursework was. Many classes allowed me the autonomy to design projects to both meet my professors' expectations and the real needs within my work. I am still utilizing many of the resources found and created during my coursework..."
