Since August 1999 NCC has offered an evening masters program in management to address the needs of working adults who want to further their education with a graduate degree. The MBA degree is a more sought-after and recognizable graduate business degree, says Heather Allison, marketing and admissions coordinator for the Department of Business and Management. In reality, the MA in Management degree that we were offering was a very comprehensive program. All that was necessary to change the original program into an MBA was the addition of two courses, said Dr. Allen Belcher, associate dean for the department. The two additional courses include an accounting course that addresses a graduate competency area and a special topics course that addresses current trends in business and management.
Students complete the program as a cohort, a model that works well with adult students.
Northwest Christian College was founded in 1895 and continues to diversify its academic programs while remaining consistent with its primary goal of integrating faith and learning in the liberal arts and selected professional programs.
