This interdisciplinary program integrates core business disciplines—including management, finance, marketing, operations, entrepreneurship, and organizational leadership—with the academic study of religion, ethics, and interfaith dialogue. Students examine how religious values, moral philosophy, and cultural traditions influence economic systems, corporate behavior, and leadership practices across diverse contexts.
