Business Administration
About the Program
Sterling College equips students with skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in the workplace and/or graduate school. Sterling has done so with a practical and relevant core curriculum that emphasizes fundamental business theory and is taught from an application perspective.
Each student has the opportunity to tailor their business education by selecting a specialized concentration. This combination of core business education with the specialized focus empowers our student to excel in the business environment.
In addition to coursework, each one of our business students is required to do an internship in their specific area of interest. This internship is a collaborative effort between faculty, the student, and the internship employer. This practical experience is invaluable as the students venture out into the real world upon graduation. See below for a list of businesses where our students have completed internships in recent years!
Biblical teachings are integrated into courses in the business department. Students are given the opportunity to apply foundational Christian concepts to business situations with guidance from faculty members.
