The Doctor of Transformational Leadership (DTL) is designed for leaders in organizations that are focused on urban relief, development or advocacy, or cultural influence, from a Christian perspective. These organizations can be non-profit, for-profit or government entities. The DTL degree does not require an MDiv as a pre-requisite but an earned master’s degree from an accredited institution in any field is a requirement.
This degree emerged from two needs faced by BGU students and potential students. First, with the addition of two new BGU business masters’ degrees, BGU has found leaders who would like to continue their studies in business and organizational leadership but they are not in a local church setting, and a DMin is not exactly right for them. Second, many BGU students work in countries where the word “ministry” is either a confusing or a negative political term and the DTL is a degree that serves the needs of leaders in both cross-cultural and diverse organizational and political settings.
