Admission to the MOL Program
Admission to the Master of Organizational Leadership (MOL) program is selective. The admissions process for this Organizational Leadership degree evaluates applicants on the basis of previous academic performance, personal and professional accomplishments and goals, and strength of character. A strong desire to complete graduate-level work in a Christ-centered, biblically-based community is important.
Application Deadlines
You can enter the M.A. in Organizational Leadership program at multiple points in the academic year. You should complete the admission process as early as possible so you will have adequate time to work with an advisor and qualify for financial aid.
Prerequisite Coursework
