Haab School of Business and Management provides a solid foundation of professional business and management skills through a commitment to personalized education and leadership development within the context of Christian values. Men and women are prepared to be competent, ethical and service-oriented leaders with the ability to initiate, and contribute to, positive change in their organizations, church, and community. Internships, senior projects, and leadership courses are required components of the Haab School education.
|
The Haab School of Business and Management offers a collaborative environment for students by providing a quality business education while partnering with businesses and other colleges and universities to enrich the student’s educational experience. A collaborative initiative with Eastern Michigan University offers students the opportunity to select accounting and finance concentrations.
The learning experiences of the Haab School are integrated with the learning experiences of Concordia’s core curriculum.

1. Function effectively within business organizations
