Olivet School of Business students take courses that integrate hands-on practical learning through real-life business experience. Second-year BA business students and MBA students may enroll into the MINS640 Business as Mission and BSPT501-803 Business Practical Training courses. The courses examine emergent roles of business in Christian missions while covering themes in:
1) the theology of business as missions;
2) practical issues concerning the use of business as a vehicle for cross-cultural missions, and
3) specific for-profit business models and case studies.
By the end of the course, students will have a better understanding of the opportunities and challenges associated with integrating business and missions.
