Question

What are some of the unique strategic challenges that Christian universities face?

Answer 1

1.Competition among Higher education institution as well as among students , the need for getting Higher education are increasing day by day.So there is a high demand for education as well as there are so many providers(supply) for education, which include private and public institutions.As I understood , Christian universities are a part of private institution rather than public.So they have to find everything for themselves to run the institution and give education to students.Some of the challenges are finding funds,inviting students to the institutions,inclusiveness..etc.Fund finding is a difficult task for christian universities.Because they are mainly depend upon tution fees.So they are forced to fix higher prices as tution fees.Thus student won't interest or unable to pay that much amount and learn in christian universities.Also as a christian university they have to include everyone maximum as students who all are wish for learning.It will force them to relaxing the prices too even if they provide high quality of education.But public universities are able to find funds and provide education for less price.So students will be attracted to public universities.Also there is a threat of substitute for learning(internet), pottential threat of new entrant as an institution,Threat of existing competition ..etc.Which will keep the price less of the christian universities ad it will cause them struggle for existence.Also an religious named university can't act as an business institutions, because they have to serve the society in truthful inclusive manner.These are the strategic challenges Christian Universities face.
