This course equips current and aspiring chief academic officers in Christian higher education to lead with intentionality, integrity, and spiritual depth. Grounded in a biblical vision of leadership as stewardship, servanthood, and shepherding, the course moves beyond management principles to explore five strategic priorities: educational philosophy, executive team synergy, mission-fit faculty, curriculum design, and resource alignment. Through practical insights, reflective questions, and a focus on the implicit curriculum of institutional culture, participants will be challenged to lead with clarity, courage, and Christlike character.
