Preparation for servant leadership is the primary goal for these programs that span bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree programs, including the Doctor of Philosophy in leadership studies (Ph.D.), the Doctor of Education in organizational leadership and innovation (Ed.D.), the Doctor of Education in leadership and professional practice (Ed.D.), the Master of Arts in organizational leadership (MOL) and the Bachelor of Arts in management and leadership (BML).
