Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration & Leadership for Adult Students

The Business Administration and Leadership (BAL) program curriculum is designed to be relevant to business professionals. Classes are taught by Christian professionals, including full time Concordia faculty and industry leaders. As a result, students benefit from both depth of knowledge and in-the-field expertise, which makes for an academically rigorous yet practical bachelor's degree that is relevant to today's dynamic business world.

One of our adjunct professors and alumnus summarizes the Concordia advantage with these words:

"Concordia's educational environment cultivates leadership by taking a real-world approach. The instructors are proven professionals in their fields. They stimulate innovation and critical thinking and challenge students to apply concepts and theories in the workplace. The knowledge I gained at Concordia provided a strong foundation for success in a global business environment."
