Leadership Education for Adult Professionals

The Leadership Education for Adult Professionals (LEAP) program serves adult students, offering academic programs in nontraditional hours and formats that enable working professionals to remain in their career while fulfilling their educational goals. The Program also serves other students by coordinating several nontraditional educational service programs, such as CLEP/DANTES testing, Prior Learning Assessment, and the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary Extension program.

The LEAP Program is administered by the School of Business and Management and is located at 6710 108th Ave NE. There are several mediums through which the LEAP program serves students.

The LEAP program offers the Business Management and Ministry Leadership majors. Courses are scheduled on weekday evenings and Saturdays.

The LEAP Program also provides an Associate in Arts degree, in an accelerated format, as well as a Certificate in Christian Faith and Practice.

Northwest University students are able to obtain credit for prior learning through several methods, all facilitated by the LEAP Program. Prior learning assessment covers credit earned via CLEP (College Level Examination Program) and DANTES (Defense Agency Non-Traditional Exam Service) exams, certified prior learning as approved by the American Council on Education or the University, or submission of a portfolio as outlined in the Prior Learning Assessment Guide. Please contact the LEAP Director of Curriculum Development and Prior Learning Assessment for further information.

Students interested in any of the programs listed above should contact the Graduate and Professional Studies Enrollment office.
