Go Beyond the Bottom Line

Our ethics-based, holistic curriculum goes beyond the bottom line. At George Fox, we focus on developing the whole person – academically, socially and spiritually. Our MBA program will ground you in wisdom, bring out the best in your character and prepare you to change the landscape of any organization.

“The emphasis on transformational and servant leadership has always stuck with me as I’ve progressed in my career,” says Joe Ahn, global director of marketing for ECCO Shoes. “The program also did a good job of involving us in local community businesses as consultants working through real-life challenges.”

Get Down to Business

Apply what you learn in class directly to your career immediately. We blend thought-provoking discussions with projects and case studies so you can see how organizations apply theory to business practices. In your final project, you’ll leverage your knowledge and experience to meaningfully contribute to a business or nonprofit of your choice.

“Enrolling in the MBA program while working full time was a great asset to me,” says Jensyn Lown, camp manager for the Portland Timbers. “I was able to take projects assigned from class and apply them to my real-world job.”

Distinguish Yourself

Go beyond the basic skills that other MBA programs emphasize. Become an expert communicator and purposeful decision maker with cultural and emotional intelligence. Those are the qualities we’ll help you integrate into your professional life, and they’ll be a source of distinction and strength throughout your career.

“Fox didn’t just open my eyes to the core competencies of business acumen,” says Justin Winn, a senior IT project for Marion County, Oregon. “It also combined mathematics and the hard sciences with the soft part of just being human and relating to people.” 

Forge a Lifelong Network

Don’t just add a line to your resume – be part of a learning community that reflects a broad range of life experiences. Whether you’re sharing ideas with classmates in person or gaining insights from professors online, you’ll build relationships that stand the test of time. You’ll also have access to exclusive networking opportunities that open doors and transform your professional life.

“I learned so much from my classmates, especially since we all had different styles of executing our work,” says Brianna Herron, a project coordinator for Opus Agency. “We had to learn how to work together, and I believe learning to work with different types of people will continue to help me with my career.”

At George Fox, we know an important factor in choosing a school can be cost. That is why we strive to make school as affordable as possible. Virtually every George Fox student who can demonstrate financial need is awarded funds to assist in meeting the cost of attendance. When students explore what it will cost to attend George Fox, there is a real difference between the total cost of their education (tuition, living expenses, books, fees, etc.) and the amount they’re expected to pay. Financial aid is meant to reduce the gap between the two.
