Ph.D. in Organizational Leadership - Ecclesial Leadership Major

EL Course Requirements | EL Course Map

Designed to advance the academic study of organizational leadership in ecclesial contexts, the Ecclesial Leadership major explores the past, present and future of organizational leadership in ecclesial contexts through a multi-disciplinary study combining the fields of leadership studies, organizational research, exegetical analysis, philosophy, theology, sociology, historical criticism and futures studies. Even though this major includes the historic disciplines of theology, the focus remains on the unique and particular contexts that ecclesial leadership and organizations face. Students will be prepared to teach organizational leadership, and in particular ecclesial leadership and organizational design at the university level or conduct research in association with ecclesial groups, seminaries, non-profits and missional groups.

The Ecclesial Leadership major uses a cohort model that incorporates interaction with an instructor and other students.
