Diploma in Christian Leadership is a diploma in Religious Studies programme taught at Rocky Mountain College in Calgary, Canada. The programme runs for 2 years, delivered fully online. Tuition for international students is CAD 395 per credit (CAD 395 per credit for local students).
This two-year diploma is part of Rocky Mountain College's Leadership Development department, which combines biblical and theological foundations, general education, and practical leadership training. The diploma builds on the department's focus on Christian leadership, developing skills the department describes as central to its offerings, including communication, pastoral care, discipleship, and strategic leadership applicable across ministry contexts. According to the department, its programs suit students who feel called to make an impact through ministry, leadership, or service, and are designed to help them grow both spiritually and professionally. Graduates from the department's programs go on to vocations such as pastors, youth leaders, missionaries, ministry directors, and nonprofit leaders. As a mid-length credential between the department's one-year certificate and four-year bachelor's degree, the diploma suits students wanting a deeper leadership foundation than a certificate provides without committing to a full degree, and it can serve as a step toward further study. Rocky Mountain College, located in Calgary, Alberta, is accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education Commission on Accreditation to grant certificates and degrees at the associate and baccalaureate levels.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:2.00 / 4.0
Admission Requirements: The Diploma in Christian Leadership page sets no admission requirements of its own and defers to Rocky Mountain College's general admission requirements. The college states that prospective students generally need a high school diploma along with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale, and it partners with homeschooled applicants who lack a conventional transcript. No English or French language proficiency scores (IELTS, TOEFL iBT, PTE, Duolingo, CAEL) are published on either the programme page or the general admissions page. Applicants complete the online application form and submit official transcripts and personal references for a holistic review by the admissions committee; those whose academic background falls short of the stated GPA are invited to contact the enrollment office directly. Applications are processed year-round rather than against fixed intake dates.
