The UC Berkeley’s Executive Leadership Academy is a weeklong program designed for individuals from all backgrounds, who are interested in preparing themselves for appointments to executive positions such as dean, vice president, provost, president and chancellor. It offers a five-day intensive training experience and is guided by a select faculty team, comprised of over 25 senior-level higher education executives.

The program’s 2026 sessions are now open for application, and the campus will sponsor a limited number of emerging leaders for attendance. Administrative experience as chair or director is preferred. Please note this year’s sessions are in-person.
