If you enjoy business topics and want to teach 
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. You can also choose licensure (required to teach early childhood through adolescence in public schools) or a non-licensure track in the completion of your degree.
With your Bachelor of Science degree in Business Education, you’ll be equipped to teach, join the working world, or pursue further graduate studies.
