Points of Distinction:  Create Value, Make a Difference.

God calls us to be creative:  to see visions and dream dreams, to develop processes and products and services and ideas that enrich human culture and improve the quality of life in God's world.

God calls us to make a difference:  to offer hurting people hope and healing by changing communities and individual lives.

At La Sierra University's School of Business, we want you to do both.
  • We want you to be creative. We'll give you the business tools you'll need: economics and entrepreneurship, management and marketing, accounting and finance. And we'll encourage you to use those tools to mirror God's creativity by thinking outside the box and moving beyond conventional ideas and ordinary ways of solving problems.

  • We want to help sharpen you ethical insight and your commitment to Christian values so your work can be part of God's work in the world-whether you're starting your own business or heading a major corporation. At La Sierra, you'll get fresh, thoughtful insights that will help you live with integrity, justice and compassion as a business person and a citizen.

  • We want you to use your business creativity to make a difference. We'll help you put your business skills to work as a christian social entrepreneur: someone who expands economic opportunity by building innovative businesses that make social change happen. We want to help you create value not only for yourself and your family, but for your community, your society, and your world.
Our mission is simple: to help people make economic decisions that enact God's love and justice. That's why Christian service through ethics and social entrepreneurship is the heart of our BA, BS and MBA programs. If you are excited by our vision of a different kind of business education, we want to hear from you.
