Undergraduate Minor in 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 your 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 you clarify what is required of you to be a skilled leader.

Leadership Studies at CCU

Most collegiate leadership programs consist of academic classes only. CCU's Leadership program requires that you learn through both academic classes and real-world leadership experience driven 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 your 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!

Ron Rex

Executive in Residence; Associate Professor of Management and Marketing

Most of today's business principles and leadership concepts are direct descendants of words of wisdom found in the Bible. In the secular world, many of the same principles are taught but the proper "footnotes" have been forgotten. Inside the classroom it is important to emphasize how the Bible is a good handbook, not only for how we live our personal lives, but also how we conduct our business careers and affairs.
