DeVoe School of Business

The DeVoe School of Business supports the university mission to be a Christ-centered institution of higher education and challenges our students to develop character, strengthen their scholarship, and enhance their leadership abilities. The School offers dynamic programs that adapt to the changing nature of knowledge, such as the impact of globalization and technology on the business field. Through extensive curriculum development and program assessment processes, our intensive curriculum builds on the knowledge our students bring to the classroom and helps shape them into lifelong learners. The School provides degree-oriented education opportunities to working adults when occupation and family responsibilities make it difficult to spend major blocks of time in residence on campus. With many of our alumni choosing to continue to reside in the communities we serve, our programs and graduates are a key component in workforce development.

The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Program (ACBSP) is the largest voluntary business program accreditation organization in the world and promotes continuous quality improvement in business, teaching excellence, and determining student learning outcomes. ACBSP accredits business, accounting, and business-related programs at the associate, baccalaureate, master, and doctorate degree levels. The DeVoe School of Business received initial ACBSP accreditation for its business and accounting programs in November 2018. ACBSP requires all programs to be in existence for two years and have graduates before granting this higher level program accreditation.
