Business Administration Program Highlights
As a Business Administration major at Mount Vernon Nazarene University, you will gain real-world experience through an internship and have access to institutional connections with business leaders in the Columbus region and beyond, including local business firms, public and private companies, and financial institutions.
A strong emphasis is placed on the connection between biblical, Judeo-Christian principles and business. We’re invested in helping you develop an ethical framework that will shape your approach in whatever aspect of business you create a career.
Our travel and study-abroad programs offer opportunities to grow in your faith while experiencing new cultures and serving communities both across the U.S. and internationally. Through these experiences, you’ll deepen your compassion, explore your calling, and build meaningful skills for your résumé.
