Director, Non-Degree Programs

Position Summary:

The Director of Non-Degree Programs is a full time, exempt staff position that fulfills a variety of administrative, formative, and creative roles at the institution. Primarily the individual appointed to this position will: reimagine and expand our local formation offerings to dioceses, strengthening existing relationships with dioceses, and build new ones (the CALL program); in consultation with CDSP leadership and diocesan leaders create a one-year, flexible, asynchronous Certificate of Anglican Studies offering (“CAS”); and develop and oversee the creation of on-line continuing education modules for our graduates participating in the two-year curacy program.
