Vice President for Academic Affairs
Introduction
The University of Mount Union invites applications and nominations for the position of Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), who will report to Gregory L. King, 14th president of the University.
A private institution founded in 1846, Mount Union offers a variety of rigorous and relevant academic programs that are grounded in the liberal arts tradition. Mount Union’s nearly 2,100 students can select from 45 broad-based and career-specific undergraduate majors, including recent additions in engineering, nursing, and data science. In addition, eight graduate programs are offered in fields such as physician assistant studies, physical therapy, education, and business, with additions in nursing and occupational therapy slated to begin in 2025 and 2026 respectively.
Known for its academic excellence and personal approach, the institution boasts a 13:1 student- faculty ratio and an average class size of 16. Mount Union’s robust curriculum is delivered in-person and online by dedicated faculty members, 91% of whom hold terminal degrees in their fields. Of our 126 full-time faculty members, 58% are tenured, and 21% are on tenure track.
Mount Union and its programs have been recognized regionally and nationally for quality and value. Our undergraduate nursing (Nurse.org, 2023) and sport business (Bachelor’s Degree Center, 2023) programs have been ranked #1 in Ohio. Among graduate programs, Mount Union was tied for the top spot in a listing of the Best Private Institutions for Online Master of Education programs and tied for 2nd in a ranking of the Best Physician Assistant Program in Ohio (both by US News, 2023). Athletically, Mount Union has been ranked as the top Ohio Athletic Conference School and 20th in all of Division III in the 2022-2023 LEARFIELD Director’s Cup Standings. As an institution, the University is ranked #18 for Best Value and #30 overall in the Midwest Regional Universities category (US News, 2022-2023) and was named the Best Small Employer in Ohio (Forbes, 2023).
Over the past two decades, Mount Union has invested more than $200 million in the construction and renovation of modern facilities, including a natural sciences building, recreation center, apartment-style housing, a health and medical sciences facility, a performing arts center, a business and engineering building, a football coaching center, and an esports and golf facility. The institution’s commitment to diversity has resulted in a newly-constructed center for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging and the appointment of a dedicated chief diversity officer.
The University features a student-centered approach and an exceptional educational experience, offering an array of activities for cultural, civic, and social development. Students experience outstanding opportunities for success after graduation, both in the workforce and in graduate study.
A strong commitment to financial stewardship has resulted in 68 consecutive years of balanced financial operations on campus. The University’s endowment is in excess of $165 million.
