At Hope, the Cross-cultural Business Administration major is intended for students who wish to engage in missionary service with a foundation in business and management, as well as individuals interested in becoming leaders in business or non-profit organizations. This inter-disciplinary approach incorporates key elements of the Business and Management major with the essential components of the Intercultural Studies major. Recent trends in the global missions field show an increased demand for “tent-making” missionaries. Tent-makers are missionaries who also make contributions to a local society in a business or non-profit organization. This position provides opportunities to integrate the missionary into the community and culture while establishing credibility and building trust. This program is perfectly suited for students who wish to pursue graduate studies, such as a Master of Business Administration or a Master of Arts: Ministry. The B.A. in Cross-cultural Business Administration program is 127 units.
