The Organizational Leadership program is designed with considerable flexibility to match the varying demands and opportunities presented by two specific groups of graduate students: 

1. Recent college graduates looking to pursue their education in the context of an internship environment being mentored by accomplished professionals.
2. Individuals already involved in organizational roles (ministry or secular) desiring to enhance their effectiveness through mentored study directly related to their organizational environment.
