President's Welcome

Welcome to Bakke Graduate University (BGU). This is truly a special place to develop into a transformational leader. There are many opportunities to learn in this world, but BGU stands out in the field of higher educations for several reasons.

We are a truly global institution. You will learn from faculty members who are scholar practitioners, meaning that they are well versed in academic content while they are also actively applying what they teach to the organizations, institutions, and neighborhoods where they work. You will study alongside of students from many different countries as you progress through each course. Our adult learning approach is a peer learning model where facilitated dialogue is the key to growing together in knowledge and hands on experience.

BGU offers a hybrid learning approach with both online and city immersion courses. You can take all courses online, or you can mix city immersion classes into your track of courses whiletraveling to cities on different continents to learn from world class transformational leaders who model what they teach. We are a student-centered university, so there is flexibility embedded within each course where you can incorporate study time into your busy lifestyle. There is generally a great deal of flexibility in our program plans where students can select courses that are the right fit at the right time based on your vocational journey and calling.

Our theological approach is founded in 2,000 years of Christian history and our courses are fully integrated with Christian scripture. Spiritual formation is at the heart of what we do at BGU, in addition to equipping our students with perspectives on transformational leadership. We equip leaders to engage effectively with the complexities of the urban environment. And we prepare business leaders for ethical leadership while emphasizing an economics of mutuality.

If you have any further questions about a program or a course, please do not hesitate to contact one of our staff members at BGU. We stand ready to help however we can in order to guide you in your journey as a transformational change agent in society. We desire for all of our students to have a positive, life changing experience through our highly relational, student-centered approach to online and experiential learning.

Warm regards,

Dr. Bryan McCabe

President
