Program Plan of Study

Program Description

The Undergraduate Certificate in Foundations of Mission-Driven Christian Leadership is comprised of core content from the Mission-Driven Leadership associates and bachelor's degrees offered by Indiana Wesleyan University National & Global. The foundations of the Mission-Driven Christian Leadership certificate provide the opportunity for students to engage personal and professional development in life calling, spiritual formation, and leadership fundamentals from the perspective that all believers are to be engaged as Christian mission regardless of context or vocation. Beyond classroom study, learners will participate in a site-based leadership lab experience. These foundations create the anchors for effective Christian mission-driven practice as well as for future study and academic pursuits.

The Foundations of Mission-Driven Christian Leadership undergraduate certificate offers its graduates the opportunity to apply the credits toward IWU degree programs, including the Associates/Bachelor's degree with a major in Mission-Driven Leadership and the Bachelor's degree with a major in Organizational Leadership.
