Mission

The mission of the program is to provide a Christ-centered, challenging, and research-based doctoral program enabling organizational leadership students to become accomplished in current knowledge, theory-in-use, research, self-directed learning, and as facilitators of organizational learning.

The curriculum is designed to contribute to a student's development as a servant leader, who has demonstrated competence in domains of knowledge represented in the conceptual model that guides the program design. These domains include personal authenticity and ethics, organizational development, global and multicultural perspectives, organizational transformation, strategic planning and implementation, and organizational theory. A foundational core is based on wisdom, followership, and stewardship, which in turn are exhibited through research, teaching, and practice. Finally, the model is surrounded by spiritual formation, which is based on spiritual virtues.
