With no substantial knowledge regarding the experiences of African American women in Christian higher education, this study explored the challenges and experiences of African American women administrators at Council for Christian Colleges and Universities member schools. The study also examined the coping strategies these administrators developed to manage the challenges they encountered, the impact of institutional denominational values, and the influence of family on their careers. The study uses Black feminist thought and its five key dimensions as the theoretical framework in data analysis. Utilizing semi-structured interviews as the primary source of data collection, the researcher interviewed 10 African American women who were current or former administrators at Council for Christian Colleges and Universities member schools. The interviews yielded nine themes that framed their experiences and challenges. These themes were: evolved positions, influence of role models and mentors, personal attributes and advancement, overt and covert racism and sexism, lack of institutional support, thoughts of resignation, prayer and support networks as coping strategies, faith and career, and self-perception as role model. The study provided an opportunity to gain knowledge and an appreciation for the experiences and challenges of African American women administrators at Council for Christian Colleges and Universities member schools. In addition, the study may serve as a resource to Council for Christian Colleges and Universities member schools to help foster a climate that is both welcoming and inclusive for African American women administrators.
