In today’s world, leadership is often evaluated based on the success of a cause and its results. Our program seeks to go beyond this by ensuring that both the cause and the means to achieve it are rooted in a biblical foundation, enabling leaders to make decisions that help both their organizations and communities flourish.
Cedarville’s mission is to educate students who will lead and serve in all areas of life, and this program furthers that mission by offering a Christ-centered approach to communication. In an increasingly polarized world, the need for leaders who can communicate truth and grace has never been greater. Our program empowers students to navigate the complexities of modern leadership with a biblical perspective.Andrew Harris, PhD, Program Director, Associate Professor of Communication
