History[]
The Economic Development program was founded in 1984 by Tony Campolo, Lin Geiger, Robert Seiple and others. Subsequent programs to be developed included concentrations in International and Urban Economic Development. In 1999, the School of International Leadership and Development was established, along with the signing of a partnership with World Vision International to deliver a Master of Business Administration (MBA) in NGO Leadership. In 2003, Habitat for Humanity International joined the program, the degree offered was converted to an MA in Organizational Leadership, and the School removed 'International' from its name. From 2006, the school began offering an MA in International Development and various certificates in leadership and development.
