Serve. Lead. Transform.
Leadership
Influence various cultures and invest in the next generation – through leadership.
Are You Ready to Transform Lives?
Faithful leaders aren’t defined by positions or titles. Your ability to lead is about much more than where you find your role on an organizational chart. Transformational leadership is about kingdom influence, regardless of your vocation.
The Master of Arts in Leadership will prepare you to be a leader through coursework that engages with the best insights from the field of leadership studies from the perspective of a biblical worldview. Program themes include the biblical foundations of leadership, the importance of personal leadership, and the importance of leading across generations and cultures. Pursue a concentration in either spiritual formation or servant leadership.
While leadership principles can be taught in a classroom, leadership can only fully be learned in the laboratory of the real world. For this reason, students enrolled in the Master of Arts in Leadership also participate in the Residency Program at the Impact 360 Institute. This two-year leadership development program is the ideal context for wedding theory and practice, all while investing in the next generation of transformational leaders at Impact 360.
What Can You Do with a Master’s Degree in Leadership?
The Master of Arts in Leadership equips you with the knowledge, skills, and priorities necessary to be a faithful leader in a variety of settings. In this interdisciplinary program, you learn what Scripture teaches us about how to think biblically, live ethically, and lead faithfully.
