Member Resources

Partnerships, Programs, and Services

The APCU offers a range of programs and services to support the success of our member institutions. In addition, the APCU strategically partners with a range of higher education-focused providers to secure special discounts and unique product offerings that help our members address mission-critical functions. Our annual gatherings are also a draw—including our Presidents’ Retreat, our Chaplains’ Conference, and our sponsored webinars that target various stakeholders. Contact us.


Peer Advising & Mentoring

The APCU Peer Advising & Mentoring (PCM) Service is designed to strengthen the APCU community by providing a structure through which member institutions can support each other via short-term, low-cost consulting interventions, and longer-term mentoring relationships that augment the on-boarding process and learning curve for senior administrators (particularly presidents).

Leadership Development

The APCU Leadership Development Institute provides an opportunity for faculty and administrators at APCU schools to evaluate and strengthen their leadership skills while exploring the context and implications of leading a faith-based institution, particularly one related to the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Study Abroad and Student Exchange

APCU member schools have the opportunity to participate two programs through our relationship with the British Council. These programs allow APCU schools to host students from Northern Ireland while also enabling them to send students to one of four universities in that country.

Resource Library

The APCU Resource Library includes research reports, articles, and relevant metrics that provide a wealth of information to help you with self-assessment, market positioning, and general knowledge of our sector. Monthly additions to the library ensure that the content is both current and relevant.

Sustainability Initiative

The APCU Sustainability Initiative will facilitate the development and sharing of effective environmental sustainability practices across our association by leveraging the collective knowledge and experience of APCU members through the Nuventive Improvement Platform.
