Belhaven University has announced the addition of a new Ph.D. in Business Administration, with its inaugural cohort scheduled to begin in August 2026. Read the full story here: https://gobelhaven.com/PhDBusiness

Big news — The School of Business at Belhaven University is launching something we've been working hard to build: a 100% online Ph.D. in Business Administration.

The inaugural cohort kicks off in August 2026, and we're already accepting applications.

This program is for a very specific person: the business professional who wants to step into the world of academia — to teach, to research, to publish, and to shape how future generations understand business.

A few things I'm especially proud of:
→ No GRE or GMAT required — we removed the unnecessary barriers
→ Fully online, designed for working professionals (15–20 hrs/week)
→ Built on rigorous research methods AND a Christian worldview
→ Backed by our IACBE-accredited School of Business

If you've ever imagined yourself at the front of a classroom, presenting at a conference, or contributing original research to your field — this is your path.

Spaces are limited in our first cohort. I'd love for you to take a look. 👇

As we wrap up BUFA’s last fashion show of the year, we are feeling so thankful for everyone who made this event so special. Thank you to all of the incredible vendors who came out to support us, everyone who attended, and every model, volunteer, and student who helped bring this show to life. Your support means so much to us.

This year has been such a blessing, and we are so excited to continue growing as an organization, building community, and making an impact through fashion. We hope to continue showing that fashion can be creative, inspiring, and rooted in faith while shining a new light on Christianity in the industry. We cannot wait to see what is ahead for BUFA 🤍

He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. This Easter, we celebrate the hope, joy, and new life found through the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Because He lives, we are reminded that no challenge is greater than His power, no season is without purpose, and no future is without hope.

From all of us at Belhaven Business School, Happy Easter to you and your family.

“Christ is risen, He is risen indeed.” Matthew 28:6

We are proud to celebrate one of our own! 🎉

New at Belhaven: DBA in Applied Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how organizations compete, make decisions, and create value. Yet many companies are still searching for leaders who can translate AI from buzzword into real strategy.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new Applied Artificial Intelligence specialization in the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program at Belhaven University.

Our DBA program has already been attracting experienced executives and leaders who want to solve real organizational problems through applied research. This new specialization adds even more power by helping leaders:

• Integrate AI into business strategy
• Lead AI-enabled organizational transformation
• Address ethical and governance challenges of AI
• Turn emerging technologies into a competitive advantage

The goal isn’t to create programmers. It’s to develop leaders who know how to apply AI to real organizational problems.
