The Ph.D. in Leadership program is multidisciplinary in scope and primarily online in delivery with one on-campus residency in late July. It is based on an annual term with multiple entry points (January, March, May, July, August, and October).

The program integrates research, theory and practice and provides a breadth of knowledge across the leadership field with in-depth research and study in pivotal areas. Critical thinking, scholarly research, writing, and learning occur within a biblical Christian worldview that supports the entire program. It prepares students for organizational leadership positions.

The capstone project is the submission and successful defense of a doctoral dissertation.
