If you enjoy business topics and want to teach Mr. Jeffrey Drost teaches a business class.
them to others, the Business Education program at Maranatha prepares you for this important field with courses taught from a biblical perspective by seasoned professors with experience in the areas of accounting, human resources, IT development, marketing, and management.

You’ll study and learn to teach business subjects such as accounting, marketing, business law, entrepreneurship, business management, computer applications, and keyboarding in grades K-12. Besides web design, you’ll become adept at Microsoft Word, Excel, and Access, with the option of becoming MOS certified in those applications, since Maranatha is a testing site.
