NABCA BCLI VIII
Branch Campus Leadership Institute 2025-26 (BCLI VIII)

Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the Branch Campus Leadership Institute helps attendees gain the leadership knowledge and skills needed to make a positive impact on higher education. The Leadership program provided through the Branch Campus Leadership Institute is an 8-month program that culminates with a Capstone presentation given at the National Association of Branch Campus Administrators (NABCA) annual conference. The capstone project brings to bear the analytic abilities, professional understanding, and contextual knowledge accrued and sharpened throughout the program and closely mirrors the challenges found in modern-day higher education.

Program Highlights: BCLI is held once a month for eight consecutive months, with each session featuring subject matter experts in the topics discussed. Sessions are typically held via Zoom on the third Tuesday of each month from 12:30p.m. – 5p.m. ET. Attendees are expected to attend all sessions. Each attendee with be assigned a mentor to help guide them through the process and aid them in selecting an appropriate topic for their Capstone Case Study. Class VIII (2025-2026) of the Branch Campus Leadership Institute begins with Orientation in August 2025. Regular monthly sessions will be held September 2025 through March 2026.

Presentation of Capstone Case Study at NABCA’s Annual Conference is a required part of the program. Registration and travel to the annual conference are not included in the cost of BCLI tuition and are the responsibility of the individual and his/her institution. Failure to complete the Capstone Case Study and present the final project in person at the annual conference will result in withdrawal from the program.

Branch Campus Leadership Institute Cost: $1150.00 (NABCA Members) $1450.00 (Non-Members)
