How are students attracted to a small Christian-based business school?
I learned a long time ago not to presume. Schools like MVNU have to get out in the field. I’m on the road as many as three or four days a week traveling to our nine campuses across the state. We would be poor stewards of the trust companies and individual clients have placed in us to merely put a perceived innovative program in a can, spray it across the state of Ohio, and hope it sticks. Institutions like MVNU desiring to be a vital partner as opposed to convenient vendor must strive for synergy rather than superiority. Do Christian-based schools attract only Christians? There is an incredibly robust higher educational market for employers, employees, believers and nonbelievers alike. Especially in the adult and graduate arena, a majority of students don’t have a church background but desire an education rooted in community and integrity. An overwhelming majority of our students seek to encounter authentic professionals who can help foster self-discovery as much as career advancement.
