Master of Arts in Leadership - Health Care

As organizations become increasingly resourceful, the need for effective leaders has also intensified. Trinity Western’s MA in Leadership for health equips professionals with the skills to adapt to the health care sector’s growing complexity and changing priorities, by offering a leadership model that emphasizes people and teamwork – a model with proven organizational effectiveness in the Canadian health care sphere. The MA in Leadership degrees are offered with two foundational curriculum themes – Transformational Servant Leadership and Values-Based Leadership. Our degree program is designed to develop emerging leaders using the Competency Model to become confident and effective servant-leaders for the 21st Century.

With specializations in Business, Education, Health Care, General stream as well as several certificate options, there are many ways to integrate leadership in your professional field.

Our capstone project is a focused and facilitated Leadership Integration Project (LIP) that applies the leadership competency model, which each learner completes as part of the degree. This project improves leadership capacity and impact across the five diverse sectors upon which MA Lead focuses. Students interested in the Thesis Track must submit an application. The process of research—from identification of a problem for investigation, research design, data, collection and analysis, to written report of findings—is the focus.
