Build with AI. Lead with Integrity.
As AI transforms businesses and organizations, the need for principled, forward-thinking leaders has never been greater. At George Fox, you’ll integrate ethical leadership standards and the power of AI to bring your boldest ideas to life.
So get ready to launch a venture. Transform your organization. Facilitate change for a business, nonprofit or mission organization. Wherever you’re called to lead, you’ll graduate with more than a credential. You’ll leave with a portfolio that sets you apart as a wise steward of AI and a faithful leader of the people you serve.
Be a Steward for the Greater Good
Earn your MBA in a program that views AI as an opportunity to advance human flourishing, and join a community that’s committed to helping you align your work with your calling.

AI Is Powerful. Wisdom Is Priceless.
In a world where artificial intelligence can generate answers instantly, the leaders who thrive will be those who know how to direct AI, not just use it – recognizing when to trust it and when to override it, building the human connections that drive organizations forward, and making ethical decisions in complex situations.
Grounded in the DIKW framework – data, information, knowledge and wisdom – our program moves beyond raw inputs and AI-generated outputs toward deeper discernment. AI is treated as a powerful tool, but never as a substitute for human judgment. The emphasis remains on the leader behind the tool: your values, your responsibility and your ability to serve others through your work.
Start Driving Change Right Away
Center your MBA experience on application, not abstraction. You’ll identify market needs and implement solutions in real time. Whether you want to start something new, innovate where you are, or partner with a regional business, nonprofit or mission organization, you’ll get timely guidance from faculty experts.
Choose from three paths:
-
Launch.
Build a venture from the ground up – a product, nonprofit, social enterprise or ministry. Apply your courses to your startup and create an asset such as:
- A financial model with investor-ready projections
- A go-to-market strategy with AI-generated campaigns
- A product prototype with real user feedback
-
Transform.
Serve as an agent of transformation for your employer, family business, church or community. Sample deliverables include:
- Process automation that improves efficiency
- A culture transformation plan with engagement diagnostics
- A strategic roadmap for AI adoption
-
Facilitate change.
Partner with a local organization facing a genuine challenge, and work to deliver professional-grade solutions such as:
- A market entry strategy for underserved regions
- An operational excellence plan with implementation roadmap
- An AI governance framework with risk assessment
Whatever you choose to do, every step of the program will reinforce your ability to lead with accountability, adaptability and purpose.
Build a Portfolio That Delivers Results
Traditional MBA programs culminate in a capstone project, a make-or-break moment that creates stress and often fails to demonstrate the breadth of skills a student has acquired. At George Fox, you’ll build a cumulative portfolio of 12 business products in eight-week intensives that demonstrate your growing mastery as a leader.
The work products you generate will be tied to essential business functions, from strategy and finance to operations and innovation. As you progress through our curriculum, your portfolio will become a living showcase of your decision-making skills, your ability to apply AI responsibly, and your proficiency in producing results.
