Suppose someone approached you at your church and asked, “Which Christian colleges/universities offer a business as mission program? And which mission agencies focus on business as missions as well?” That’s exactly what happened to John. So he approached us to find the answer. Please — let’s not let him down. Click “Comment” following the web version of this item and copy and paste in your list… please. Think of as many options as you can for John, and the person requesting the info. And in the process, we’ll build a virtual directory! Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Nebraska Christian College is a branch campus of HIU and offers the same programs in online format. This is an ideal option for people currently serving in ministry in the US or abroad who are not able to leave their ministry to become residential students. Students may also choose to live on campus to complete general education and ministry courses and take their business courses online.
To clarify, students wanting to specialize in Business as Mission may do so in either a residential or online format at either the HIU campus (Fullerton and Anaheim California) or the NCC campus (Omaha, Nebraska).
If they choose a residential experience at NCC, most of the business classes will be taught in online format, but gen ed and Bible classes are available on-site.
