Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Management
|
The King’s College Business
Management Program prepares
students for careers in
commerce. This program,
however, differs in two key
ways from most undergraduate
business programs. First, we
approach commerce as one of
our nation’s (and the
world’s) strategic
institutions. Business
students at The King’s
College learn not just the
techniques of management,
such as accounting and
marketing, but also how to
understand the social,
political, and economic
foundations of free markets.
Second, The King’s
College Business Management
Program centers on the
Christian concept of
stewardship. Our goal is to
prepare students who will be
wise in their prosperity and
employ their wealth for the
betterment of society. To
that end, we are dedicated
to developing our students’
commitment to personal
integrity.
Students in the program
learn how to identify risks
and opportunities, optimize
performance with limited
resources, and to manage and
inspire human talent. The
Business Management major
begins with the Common Core
in the freshman year: a
sequence of courses that lay
the foundation in
macroeconomics, mathematics,
logic, political theory,
theology, and Western
civilization. The Common
Core also emphasizes the
written and spoken
word—essential skills for
the business professional.

Sophomores take Principles
of Management and
Organization, which surveys
key business disciplines:
marketing, financial
accounting, corporate
finance, entrepreneurship,
negotiations, and business
strategy. Sophomores also
take Financial Accounting,
Statistics for Business and
Economics, and Business
Communications.
As Business students
progress into their junior
and senior years, they turn
from studying other people’s
decisions to examining what
will happen if they were to
make the decisions. Juniors
take Introduction to
Marketing, Corporate
Finance, Quantitative
Analysis and Computer
Modeling, and Business
Strategy. Seniors take
Entrepreneurship and Venture
Formation, Legal Studies in
Business, Operations
Management and Information
Technology, Business Ethics,
Decision Process and
Negotiation, and Senior
Project. Juniors and Seniors
also continue to take Common
Core courses and electives.
Business Management classes
are taught both by full-time
faculty members and people
currently working in the
fields they teach. Faculty
members include a venture
capitalist, a former bank
executive, and a Wall Street
investment specialist. The
program aims to prepare
student to manage both
profit and non-profit
organizations, and both
privately held and public
corporations.
In teaching business skills,
The King’s College puts
unusual emphasis on the
historical and philosophical
background of capitalism.
That’s because we see
ourselves as preparing our
graduates to be the
innovators and leaders of an
increasingly globalized
economy. We do not seek
simply to prepare students
for their first job on Wall
Street or Madison Avenue. We
prepare them for careers in
which they can expertly,
confidently, and ethically
work with colleagues in
Zurich, Jakarta, and Cape
Town, as easily as their
colleagues in Trenton,
Denver, and Minneapolis.
Business leadership today
requires agility to act
wisely within the moment,
while never losing sight of
the long view. By grounding
the study of business in
history, economics, and
politics, we seek to put
students on the path to this
kind of balanced insight.
