“…One of the problems in American higher education today is that there is an impending leadership crisis in higher education. There are currently not enough people who are qualified and prepared to take on the responsibilities of a presidency --nor do they have the requisite skills needed to move institutions as a whole forward (Cohen & Kisker, 2010;Cooney & Borland, 2018;Eckel & Kezar, 2011).…”

The current mixed-method study investigates transformational leadership qualities through higher education doctoral programs in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This study relies on three data points: interviews with graduate program directors of higher education doctoral programs (whether PhD or EdD), a program evaluation of programs, and Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5x™) survey results from students within said programs. Data were collected from the five public universities that offer higher education doctoral programs within the Commonwealth of Virginia. Students completed a self-rating using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5x™) and then were peer-rated by colleagues to strengthen the validity of the study. Additionally, themes surrounding the structures of these doctoral programs were collected. As researchers of higher education and leadership studies cite transformational leadership as a high competency for college and university presidents, coupled with a looming shortage of college and university presidents on the horizon, measuring the programs that train these potential future leaders is warranted.

Presidential evolution is part of the history of US higher education. The college presidency in the United States has a history of evolutionary breakthroughs, a steady state, and may be evolving in the context of current sustained trends, issues, and challenges. In response to forces such as trends, issues, and challenges, there have been no less than three significant breakthroughs in the evolution of the college presidency. Those three were followed by a steady state in the evolution, regardless of the forces of trends, issues, and challenges. Presently, 10 sustained forces are upon the presidency. Each or the combination of these trends, issues, and challenges has the potential to change or evolve the presidency for long into the foreseeable future; however, there is a countervailing pattern of response.

There is no singular way to prepare for the unique challenges of a college or university presidency. College and university presidents, as well as those who aspire to the position, utilize a myriad of professional experiences as they navigate the complexities of the role. The purpose of this chapter is to review the traditional and nontraditional career pathways of college and university presidents, discuss the preparation practices utilized by higher education leaders to be successful in the presidency, and offer advice for aspiring college and university presidents.
