Applied Business

As a Christian university, we approach each course from a biblical perspective, and we believe faith and work go hand-in-hand. What does it look like to be a Christian in your work environment? How can you use your work or business to honor the Lord? These are some of the questions you’ll dig into as part of your business coursework.

You’ll also take courses covering very in-demand career fields, such as project management, data analytics, and marketing. These skills are transferable to almost any career.

Your capstone course will allow you to connect with an organization or a project in the field of business that you’re most interested in and complete a team project.

Whether you are considering entrepreneurship or going to work as a manager or moving into a more traditional corporate environment, your Applied Business degree will give you a strong foundation to excel.

Program Format

  • Classes start every 8 weeks. You can begin classes in any session, and take one, two, or three classes each session, depending on what works for your schedule and goals. See the online undergraduate academic calendar.
  • Assignments are posted at the beginning of each week so you can work at your pace through the week. You’ll get a “Welcome to the Week” email that highlights exactly what you need to do.
  • Classes are asynchronous, which means you don’t have to be online at any specific day or time.
  • Multimodal content includes a mixture of video lectures, podcasts, online discussion boards, and textbooks, which you can often access electronically, so you have multiple ways to absorb the content and get the most out of your studies.

Faculty

Our program minimizes the transactional distance between you and your instructors. You’ll have direct engagement with your professors through video content recorded by the Corban faculty you’ll be working with, as well as through discussion boards, timely feedback on assignments, email, and virtual office hours.

Our online classrooms are kept at about 15 students or less, which is half the size of most online programs. That means you not only have support in reaching your specific goals, but you also have a better opportunity to get recommendations and to have that mentor relationship to support you through and beyond your degree program.
