A business education at PLNU cultivates critical-thinking, problem-solving, communication, and innovation skills, preparing students for a wide range of meaningful career opportunities. Programs focus on applying strategic thinking to real-world business challenges while helping students build a network of like-minded influencers and decision-makers.

PLNU engages its faculty, staff, and students in an annual assessment cycle, where student learning is evaluated through appropriate courses, assessment results are analyzed, and necessary adjustments are made to improve the curriculum.

This complete process—encompassing planning, assessment, and improvement—is commonly referred to as “Closing the Loop.” It is illustrated in the Annual Assessment Cycle for each curricular program and culminates in a comprehensive six-year Program Review. This review includes a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Action Plan, through which assessment findings directly inform financial and strategic planning.
