Home / Degree Programs

Masters Program (MCL) Overview

The Master of Science Degree in Christ-Centered Leadership, Coaching, and Change is designed to enhance the careers of believers who have a Bachelor’s degree and are working to utilize their faith to positively impact the world. The program is accelerated organized postsecondary instruction in approved subjects that although may lead to an academic, professional, or vocational degree certificate in ministry covering such topics as:

  • Faith-based teaching on Philosophy and Religious Instruction – Post-secondary;
  • Executive Coaching to Pastors and Faith-based Leaders;
  • Leadership in Faith-based Organizations;
  • Faith-based Life Coaching or Counseling not elsewhere specified;

The program is primarily designed to enhance a student’s career and calling in life as opposed to a program which prepares a student for work in a particular business arena or state occupation.

We serve students who want to combine their “Callings and Careers” which we define as life activities revealed to you by God for your spiritual growth and Kingdom purposes. As students apply what they learn, we believe God for our students to become enlightened by Christ to utilize their faith to make a measurable difference and positive impact in the world.

    Core Course Lectures

    The Core Courses Lectures typically consists of one textbook or a combination of textbook readings, videos, podcasts, and/or workbooks. The Core Courses listed also typically require a course paper to be submitted using the required textbook designated for the course as shown in the Course Catalog and Course Syllabus. Textbooks may be ordered via Amazon or any major online bookstore. Although all textbooks may be ordered simultaneously, assignments must be submitted one at a time in the order of the courses listed in the Program Course Outline for grading and feedback purposes.

    In order to pass the course, upon reading the textbook for each Core Course Reading Lecture, you will write a 5 to 10-page summary describing what you read. Unless otherwise instructed, you may only use the specified textbook authorized in the Program Course Catalog for each Course. You will submit the written course paper for a grade. Your course paper should reflect at least a paragraph for each chapter in the book. No less than 5 pages and no more than 10 pages of written material will be accepted for the course paper. In your course paper, you must cite the page number like this (page XX) referring to the page number from where you have drawn your conclusions or remarks in your paper. Your instructor will refer to the Grading Rubric shown in this manual to determine your grade for each course, so be sure to review the  Grading Rubric so that you will have an idea of what is expected for each grade.

    All students in the program will do a weekly check-in by participating in the Live Group Discussion Forum Online or Posted Discussion Forum Online. The student will continue this weekly check-in process for the duration of the program using the instructions found in the Class Syllabus. If a student has missed four weekly Discussion Forum check-ins or has not been consistent with Live Group Discussion Forum Online or Posted Discussion Forum Online, the Instructor may recommend that the student be withdrawn from the program roster (see policy on Satisfactory Progress and Academic Probation).

    When ready to submit each of your Course assignments or papers, student will submit each assignment/paper electronically one at a time via secured methods and instructions provided in the Course Syllabus. The student will receive a grade or feedback from the instructor after each completed assignment so that remarks can be considered for continued learning and completing future assignments. Refer to the Grading Rubric.

    Labs

    While completing each core course, the student will complete two 1-hour coaching labs for each Core Course in the Program Course listing. The coaching lab may focus on any topic raised by the person being coached; it does not have to be a topic in the course textbook. The student not the school is responsible for establishing the coaching relationship with a person being coached; this means the student will make himself/herself accessible in a coaching relationship to explore the coaching process for the benefit of the person being coached. Students will refer to the detailed instructions below to see the coaching lab requirements for each course.

    Lab Details

    Student will put together two 1-hour live coaching sessions recorded with permission for each Course as shown in the Complete Listing of Subjects. The student must submit at least 2 coaching labs for any one core course and a minimum of (8) labs is required for the entire program; the student may choose to complete all of the core course coaching labs depending on his/her outcome goals.  After recording the coaching session with the permission of the person being coached, the student will submit an audio recording for performance evaluation purposes and continuous improvement. Coaching Lab should be a coaching session engagement with any individual who is not already a coach (unless the person is a regular client of the student). The coaching lab may be a paid or pro-bono coaching session. Coaching labs enable the student to practice learned techniques and identify strengths and weaknesses, highlight areas for improvement, and track and monitor coaching performance. The labs become a source of motivation and reward for the student to use as a tool to assist in planning their development and growth. Permission must be granted in the recorded session by the individual being coached to use the coaching session. Students will keep a copy of the coaching lab recording file for their records and submit one file for their coaching lab evaluation grade.

    Lab File Guidelines

    • In MP3, WMA or MP4 (audio) formats. Other formats will not be accepted. 95 megabytes or less for each file. Use a lower bit rate to decrease file size, if needed.
    • Student will label the files with student’s name and a number, i.e., JoeSmith1.mp3.
    • Providing a URL to download or stream audio recordings will not be accepted.
    • A complete coaching session (unedited) lasting between 20 and 60 minutes. Those that exceed 60-minutes will not be scored.
    • From an actual live coaching session between the student and a paid or pro-bono client. The individual being coached may not be a coach unless they are a regular client of the student’s practice.
    • English language only is acceptable when coaching session is submitted for this course.

    Discussion Forum Online

    ELTU Instructors offer either a Live Group Discussion Forum Event or an ELTU Student Community Posted Discussion Forum Online. The Discussion Forum is the place for knowledge sharing with those who are enrolled at ELTU currently, or to hear from others who have been enrolled previously and have posted their experiences and comments in reply to the Instructor’s Questions covered in the Course Curriculum / Syllabus. These questions are typically regarding personal, professional, or spiritual transformation, leadership, coaching, change management, or any aspect of the given course or program. Where you see an icon labelled “Discussion Forum” or content labelled as such in your Class syllabus, your participation in the Discussion Forum is required and will be graded to successfully complete the program. Where indicated in your Syllabus, a student may attend a live Discussion Forum via ELTU events or ELTU live seminars offered in lieu of posting to the ELTU student community discussion board. If these live events are available, they will be posted to the ELTU student community discussion boards and listed on your syllabus. If a student has not attended either a Live Discussion Forum Event Seminar or Posted Discussion Forum Online to perform and complete the required weekly check-ins, the Instructor may recommend to the School Director that the student be withdrawn from the program (see policy on Satisfactory Progress and Academic Probation).
