John and Lyn Cook School of Business

From the Desk of the Dean…

Success! It’s a word we hear daily around the CIU Cook School of Business. Our graduates continue to achieve success leading, managing, and adding value each day to businesses, ministries, and sports entities around the world. In fact, nearly all Cook School graduates have jobs or are enrolled in post-grad programs prior to graduation. Our faculty understands that students invest significant time and financial resources in their college education, and our goal is that each graduate achieve an ROI by walking off the graduation stage and into a rewarding and beneficial career. 

A mission of CIU’s Cook School of Business is to train and equip “Ministering Professionals” for a lifetime of significance impacting the marketplace with the message of Christ. Many of our students and graduates own their own businesses, are community leaders, manage domestic and international ministries, or are on the front-lines of the worldwide pandemic response. “Adding Value” is what we learn each day and what our graduates bring to the marketplace. 

All programs in the Cook School of Business immerse students in the timeless principles and cutting-edge processes essential for success! Our students are leading in such areas as public administration, accounting and finance, healthcare, international business, insurance and risk management, law, sport management, coaching, and organizational leadership.

Whether your goal is to start and run your own business, engage in church or ministry leadership, or lead a domestic or international corporation or sports team, the Cook School of Business will provide you the tools needed to succeed! Come grow with us!
