Louisiana Baptist University’s Ph.D. in Global Missional Leadership is based on a Christian worldview. Leadership means more than just management. The program is designed for those in leadership roles who want to craft a vision and inspire teams in a church, ministry, or other settings to fulfill the vision. The emphasis on the spiritual and academic concepts of Christian leadership will prepare you to be a 21st century leader.
The curriculum is designed around your current work and your future goals. While the dean has prescribed a course of study for the program, your advisor will work within these parameters to design a curriculum for each student. A valuable tool in the customization of each student’s experience is independent research.
Independent research is the process of selecting a topic of interest or a subject in which your skills are lacking. Sometimes a need within your current organization prompts this realization. As projects occur to you, your advisor will guide you through the process of initiating an independent research project.
The value of independent research is that it allows you to customize the curriculum to receive maximum benefit from the learning experience. Further, it is similar to real-world applications in which a person coming into a new role must determine for oneself what information and skills must be acquired to perform well.
