Recognizing the critical need for future leaders, Dallas Baptist University has partnered with the Focus on the Family Institute from its inception in 1995 to provide a creative alternative to a traditional education. Focus Leadership Institute, a division of Focus on the Family, the Focus on the Family Institute study program is located in the northern part of beautiful Colorado Springs, Colorado. Qualified professionals train students in coursework related to family issues in our society. Students explore special job training and networking opportunities within their field of study while involved in internships within Focus on the Family and the broader community.
The Focus Leadership Institute exists to provide a unique Christian educational community that nurtures passionate and persuasive leaders who are committed to Jesus Christ, equipping them to promote healthy families, vibrant churches, and a civil society. The curriculum at Focus Leadership Institute is multidisciplinary and focuses on topics related not only to psychology, sociology, and family studies, but also to leadership, social ethics, public policy, philosophy, and theology. Individualized one-on-one attention and guidance from skilled professors and mentors nurtures the student's spiritual, vocational, and life goals. Regardless of whether a student's major is in marketing, biology, history, engineering, education, religion, or any other academic discipline, a semester at the Institute will help participants see the world from a distinctively Christian family world view.
This unique, challenging, and life-changing experience is designed to address the issues facing today's families. Outstanding students gain practical, relevant knowledge from classes that survey the latest trends on crucial family issues, and are exposed to today's religious, educational, political, and pro-family leaders. The student is challenged to balance the tremendous responsibility of excelling in difficult coursework and being stretched in a unique practicum, with exciting student life opportunities and personal accountability. Juniors or seniors from all majors, with a minimum of 45 semester hours in undergraduate work, are eligible to apply for the fall or spring 15-credit hour program. A six-week 8-credit-hour summer program is also available.
