Program Description

The Liberal Arts informs this Leadership degree. Learning opportunities are designed from different perspectives within a Christian worldview so students see issues and challenges with unique lenses allowing for out-of-the-box thinking and creativity. Experiential learning is an integral component to help discover God-given leadership skills that one may not have realized. Knowing ourselves and our ability to examine the heart issues that hold us back, impact our ability to connect/communicate with others, resolve conflict, and many other key aspects of leadership will be thoroughly integrated into the coursework. There will be a focus on spiritual development, leading, and managing people. Students will have veteran mentors throughout the program who will be a supporter, sounding board, encourager, and sharer of experiences. A Christian worldview permeates the leadership degree as students seek knowledge, clarity, and guidance to become God ordained Christian leaders. Experienced leaders from various walks of life will talk with students and share their journeys.
