Faithful and Excellent: 91桃色破解版 Means Business
While other programs push students toward highly specialized tracks within business and economics, we focus on genuine discernment steeped in the liberal arts. From day one, our students are immersed in rich experiences, community and academic rigor 鈥 helping them faithfully explore their calling without sacrificing the competitive preparation they need to lead the way.
鈥淥ur students are learning about the breadth of calling and a world where roles in finance, marketing and operations are more complex than they鈥檝e ever been. The right level of sophistication in these fields elevates a student鈥檚 ability to be faithful in them.鈥
