The Geneva MBA program integrates the Christian faith with the practice of business.
The ultimate motivation of business is to bring honor and glory to God by investing the talents that God has endowed us with. All Geneva faculty are committed evangelical Christians who attempt to integrate the Christian faith with their respective disciplines. In some courses, this integration is fairly extensive (e.g., Human Resources, Management Thought). In other courses, the integration is less visible (e.g., Accounting, Research Methods). But in all courses, we encourage students to practice the highest ethical principles and to consider how their faith ought to affect their working life.
