Program Overview
The Doctor of Philosophy in Christian Leadership and Business is an advanced religious education program designed for individuals seeking doctoral-level study at the intersection of Christian leadership, organizational effectiveness, business strategy, innovation, and responsible enterprise. The program integrates advanced leadership and business study with biblical interpretation and Christian theological reflection, preparing students to examine complex organizational and business challenges through strategic, ethical, and faith-informed perspectives. Students engage dynamic leadership for organizational effectiveness, leadership and reconciliation, business strategy, sales and marketing, supply chain management, interest rates and the fundamentals of derivatives, innovative and global business models, principles of biblical interpretation, and the relationship between Christ, culture, eternity, and time. Through these areas of study, students critically examine leadership effectiveness, organizational decision-making, financial and operational environments, market strategy, innovation, globalization, reconciliation, and the responsibilities of Christian leaders within contemporary organizations. The program emphasizes doctoral-level strategic analysis, leadership judgment, organizational effectiveness, innovation, ethical decision-making, biblical integration, and scholarly inquiry. The program culminates in doctoral research and a dissertation, through which students demonstrate their ability to investigate significant leadership or business issues, synthesize biblical and academic scholarship, construct defensible conclusions, and contribute meaningfully to Christian leadership and business scholarship and practice.
