BA in Business Administration

A degree in Business Administration can help you develop the skills, work ethic, and character required to succeed in business today.

Our low student-to-faculty ratio ensures you get the attention you need to solidify your newfound skills, and our emphasis on real-world projects means that you don’t just know the theory—you know how to apply it. Most importantly, you’ll learn to integrate your faith with your business practices. In fact, your professors have done just that—lived out their faith in the world of professional business.

Whether you are called to help with economic development in Africa or to work for a multi-billion dollar corporation in the States, your daily decisions and personal discipline reflect your Biblical worldview. Lincoln Christian’s BA in Business Administration prepares you to live your mission in whatever business field you choose: marketing, administration, accounting, management, communication, finance, government affairs, human resource management and more.
