Summary/Abstract: Universities are seeking ways to measure seemingly subjective experiences of faith, objectively. This study focuses on the measurement of student perceptions of attributes of their Christian leadership development in a university in the mid-eastern part of the United States. Pre-program and postprogram survey responses were collected from students enrolled in educational leadership endorsement and teacher licensure programs from January 2010 through December 2016. Dependent sample t- test showed a fairly normal distribution with three extreme outliers in the difference scores. With alpha set at 0.05, seven of the nine reviewed categories from the Christian Leadership Survey yielded statistically significant results. These results are tempered by the generally low effect sizes as measured by Cohen’s. Recommendations, as a result of this study, are focused on the commitment to continuous improvement in program practices and requirements found in the accreditation standards.
