About the School of Business
The School of Business offers baccalaureate degrees (BA, BS), and a graduate degree (MBA). All are designed to educate leaders who will simultaneously create value and make a difference.
La Sierra trains students motivated by a commitment to integrity, compassion, and social justice who will use their skills in nongovernmental organizations, corporations, government agencies, church institutions, or community organizations as social entrepreneurs: people who expand economic opportunity and grow wealth in underdeveloped communities by promoting the creation of innovative enterprises that in turn make tangible, positive social change happen.
The La Sierra MBA program offers you a solid grounding in analytic skills; the management and reporting of business information; value creation; leadership; and the legal, political, economic, and global environment of business. And ours is the world’s only MBA program with core courses in ethics, workplace spirituality and social entrepreneurship.
