Program Description

The Master of Arts in Leadership is a 30-hour, non-thesis program designed to equip leaders with the core leadership skills and knowledge necessary to become effective practitioner-leaders in for-profit, non-profit, and governmental organizations. Courses are designed to provide students with a foundational knowledge of key leadership theories and are heavily weighted towards learning how to apply leadership skills in real-world contexts. Students will have the option to choose an area of concentration to better direct their learning in light of their personal goals. The goal of the program is to provide a practical, yet thought-provoking Master’s-level degree in leadership that will allow practitioners to become Christian scholars, servant leaders, and global thinkers.
