Council for Christian Colleges and Universities

Professional development & scholarship: we host numerous conferences for administrators to develop their skills, build connections with peer leaders, and equip them in their work to provide a holistic christ-centered educational experience for their students. We also invest in faculty development and scholarship through institutes and grants intended to help faculty excel in their scholarship and integrate faith into their discipline. Our leadership institutes also play a pivotal role in ensuring that the pipeline of leaders in Christian higher education is filled with a diverse pool of highly qualified candidates.

Public advocacy: as an effective and respected advocate for christ-centered higher education both in the u.s. and around the world, we provide a unified voice to highlight the contributions of our institutions to the common good. We also advocate for the right of each cccu institution to practice its sincerely held religious beliefs and to participate fully in the public square without penalty.

Experiential education: we offer faith-integrated, off-campus study programs in three locations across the u.s. and around the world that foster students' intellectual, cultural, vocational, and spiritual growth. These programs extend the educational mission of cccu institutions by providing culturally immersive learning experiences that equip students to apply their Christian faith to the world.
