| Description |
: The DSL is a terminal degree designed to provide immediate solutions for today’s organizational challenges through its applied multidisciplinary approach, enabling professionals to effectively renew and transform organizations across the globe. The DSL emphasizes the practical uses of organizational leadership, organizational communication, structure, and development in relation to people, team building, and cultural understanding. While this program is grounded in theoretical concepts, the courses emphasize practical application of those theories in real world situations. The DSL program prepares students to lead organizations with a solid understanding of the vital components involved in guiding and transforming any organization.
The DSL incorporates the necessary coursework for students to gain a solid foundation of understanding how people work together in organizations to accomplish objectives that they could not accomplish alone. All of the coursework in the doctoral program emphasizes the underlying scriptural principles that lead to creating and sustaining transforming organizations.
Students may choose to receive the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study mid-way through the DSL program, once they have successfully completed 30 semester hours of coursework. In some cases, attaining this post-graduate certificate assists students with job promotion and/or salary increase. Once students reach this level, they are encouraged to continue their studies to complete the doctor of strategic leadership, which involves an additional 30 semester hours of coursework including an integrative paper and a DSL project. |
