Academic Programs
The undergraduate Broyhill School of Management became Gardner-Webb University’s first endowed school in 1981 with a gift from the Broyhill Foundation of Lenoir, North Carolina.
Mission
The School of Business provides undergraduate and graduate professional training within the scope of a Christian-based, liberal arts university, building on the skills in learning and critical thinking that the liberal arts foster.
Vision
The School of Business functions to support the mission of Gardner-Webb University by providing both graduate and undergraduate professional training in the business disciplines to a diverse student population. It enhances the scope of the university by applying the learning and analytical skills fostered by the liberal arts and the moral and ethical values of the Christian faith to the practice of business activities in the domestic and world-side arenas. It also encourages both its faculty and its students to pursue life-long learning, to value service to God and humanity, and to build character in students.
Motto
“For God and Humanity through Business”

All business students are expected to complete Economics 203 within the general studies core. A minimum grade of C is required in major courses, the Business Professional Component Courses, and the economics and math courses specified to be taken as part of the general studies core, whether taken at Gardner-Webb or transferred from another institution.
Economics 203 is the only additional requirement for Sport Management majors. Sport Management majors must complete Economics 203 and all other business related courses with a minimum grade of C.
Students transferring from a community college are strongly recommended to take the following courses as part of their community college programs: ACCT 213, ACCT 214, ECON 203, ECON 204, and CISS160.
For cases in which a student’s major requires ACCT 213 and the minor also requires ACCT213, then ACCT 214 is the substitute course to fulfill the requirements of the minor. Other duplications should be resolved by selecting substitute courses from the same general field of study.
