Leadership Studies

"The first responsibility of a leader is to define reality. The last is to say thank you. In between, the leader is a servant."

Max DePree, Author of Leadership is an Art (b. 1922)

Why Leadership Studies?

The Leadership minor at Colorado Christian University is a four-year program for students who want to develop effective leadership skills and character. The program combines intense academic study with practical, supervised training to cultivate understanding and application of leadership principles. The program is founded upon biblical and theoretical principles including modeling and mentoring, and utilizes courses, retreats, and field experiences as forms of instruction. Practical leadership experiences on campus help students clarify what is required of them to be skilled leaders.

Leadership Studies in the Christian University

Most collegiate leadership programs consist of academic classes only. CCU's Leadership program requires both academic classes and real-world leadership experience cultivated by Christian principles, theory, and ethics. We find that the real-world application of the leadership theory learned in class reinforces that theory and catalyzes the student leader's growth intellectually, physically, and spiritually. People with a minor in leadership are common. Those with a minor in leadership and real-world experience shaped by a Christian worldview are priceless!

Why CCU?
I chose to attend CCU because of the great community shared by students, faculty, and staff members alike and the overall desire of the student body to grow in their faith and walk with Christ.
