What We Are About

School of Business and Management Brand Promise

Cultivating difference makers who transform how business works.

Mission

We are a Christ-centered community of scholars and professionals pursuing academic excellence to advance the work of God in the world, developing students of character and competence as difference-makers in business and society.

Vision

The vision of APU’s School of Business and Management is to develop difference makers: students and graduates, who, through business, enhance human flourishing and restore biblical shalom socially, economically, relationally, and spiritually; share the gospel through their lives; meet human needs; and create wealth that benefits people. By doing so, we cultivate difference makers who transform how business works.

Guiding Principles of the School of Business and Management

We believe that...

• Christians in business can be a catalyst for good and change by truly integrating faith, character, and business expertise into one driving force.
• An APU business education develops students and graduates who, by working together and through God, are equipped and empowered to impact the business world, society, and the Kingdom of God.
• Students and faculty members invest in engaging, relevant, and formative learning and scholarship that leads to “aha” moments.
• By having an open door and a challenging heart, our business faculty members inspire a student’s highest potential.
