My time at Emmaus, studying in the business department, was both rewarding and impactful. Not only did I receive an education that was incredibly valuable, but I also received an immense amount of care and intentionality from my professors that I know is a byproduct of the values Emmaus holds. I’m so grateful for the biblical worldview that pervades each class and informs the way we approach business.
