Business, Economics, and Entrepreneurship (BEE)

Providence Christian College’s Business, Economics, and Entrepreneurship (BE&E) concentration explores principles of business and economics in the dynamic environment of entrepreneurship. The BEE curriculum, in conjunction with the broader liberal arts education, prepares students to be creative and innovative problem-solvers.

Leadership in business requires agility to act wisely within the moment, while never losing sight of the long view. By grounding the study of business in religion, history, philosophy, politics, and economics, Providence seeks to put students on the path to this kind of balanced insight. We prepare our graduates to be innovators and leaders within an interconnected, dynamic economy, able to work expertly, confidently, and ethically at every stage of their career.

After active participation and completion of this program, students will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate a significant understanding of the fundamental concepts of accounting, economics, management science, management and organizational behavior, and marketing through the lens of entrepreneurship.
  2. Evaluate business problems from the perspective of multiple business disciplines and then formulate, communicate, and defend recommendations to decision-makers based on those evaluations.
  3. Produce clearly written, concise analyses, and deliver clear, well organized, persuasive oral presentations.
  4. Work more effectively with others.
