Fermanian School of Business

There is a need for difference-makers in the marketplace — people who fully understand their unique passions and purpose, look for solutions where there are problems, are driven by creativity and innovation to find fresh ideas where none are to be found, and see people and communities for who and what they fully are. These individuals will pave the future of business today and tomorrow.

Challenging academics, strong personal development, and a values-based worldview have been the hallmarks of PLNU’s holistic education since our founding more than a century ago. That tradition continues to this day in the Fermanian School of Business.

92% of PLNU business graduates secure a job in 6 months.

Business Beyond the Bottom Line

An undergraduate business major prepares you to become an effective business professional armed with the necessary knowledge, skills, and character on which to build a lifetime of selfless service and continuous learning. In the Early Career MBA for recent graduates, you’ll meet the business world up close and personal, gaining the expertise and experience you need to hit the ground running. With the MBA programs for working professionals, you’ll develop business knowledge and expertise that lifts and grows your career and enables you to inspire those around you.

Opportunities for Engagement

Developing into an individual inspired and guided by purpose doesn't only happen inside the classroom — it happens by coming face-to-face with new opportunities, people, places, and ideas. From networking with alumni and professionals to international study, connecting with local and regional organizations, and more, the Fermanian School of Business offers a wide range of opportunities for meaningful engagement in undergraduate and graduate programs.

Faculty

Our faculty serve as teachers and mentors, committed to guiding you toward a full and purposeful education. By helping you explore thought-provoking and influential ideas and engage complex and difficult questions, you'll have access to an environment devoted to the pursuit of truth. An education at PLNU is both transformative and meaningful.
