Vyrsity’s 60 Hr Doctoral Level Competency (60 Hr DLC) in Transformative Learning and Leadership (60 Hours) equips experienced educators and leaders for individual, organizational, and system-level transformative leadership. The 60 Hr DLC prepares Learners through intensive, systematic, interdisciplinary worldview-based practice and assessment.

This Competency Program is not a degree program, as Vyrsity does not currently offer any degree programs. Rather it is a combination and sequence of courses designed to be appropriate for doctoral level study and competency.

Program Learning Outcomes for the 60 Hr DLC:

1. To equip Learners, as experienced educators and leaders, for individual, organizational, and system-level transformative leadership.
2. To enhance Learners’ focus on the Biblical worldview-based theory, practice, and assessment.
3. To prepare Learners for various special, diverse, innovative learning and leadership contexts.
4. To produce Learners’ aptitude for multidimensional analysis, critical thought, and the synthesizing of transformative learning and leadership principles.
