About Us

Our motto: More than the bottom line, business education to change the world.

The Fermanian School of Business prepares students to become effective business leaders who are committed to the highest moral and ethical values, and equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills, and values upon which to build a lifetime of selfless service and continuous learning.  Our desire is to produce graduates who will assume leadership roles in their professions, communities, and the world.  We seek to inspire students to reach out to developing communities, both within the United States and in foreign lands, to build where God calls them.

 The Fermanian School of Business enjoys accreditation from the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) for the BA in Business Administration and Accounting programs and the MBA program.  It should be noted, however, that the BA in International Development Studies and the BA in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, while offered by the Fermanian School of Business, are not accredited programs with ACBSP.

The Fermanian Business & Economic Institute

Behind every strong businessperson is a strong network.  The Fermanian Business & Economic Institute provides professional development and networking events, a highly-respected entrepreneurial program, internships, employment opportunities, and economic consulting for the San Diego community.

The Center for International Development

Are you concerned about global poverty?  The Center for International Development partners with students, mentors, and organizations to support those in impoverished countries who are trying to find meaningful, productive, and sustainable livelihoods.  Business to serve the least of these.
