Interested in starting a business or nonprofit that makes a difference? Eager to invest in ministry that honors God and serves others? As a student of social enterprise, you'll move beyond the basics of nonprofit operations to learn key business skills, like working with balance sheets and employee management. You'll also apply those skills in the real world when you complete a semester-long internship with a mission, ministry, nonprofit or socially-minded business.

Equipped with valuable business and theology tools, you'll be ready for a career with an existing nonprofit organization—or you could start your own. Social enterprise majors are well-suited to church ministry positions, work with after-school programs or social services, fundraising roles, and employment with a B Corp like Patagonia or Allbirds. Whatever path you pursue, a social enterprise degree will prepare you for business-minded work that invests in communities and makes a difference.
