NEW application instructions under Contact Information below.

Berea College is currently seeking to hire an experienced and accomplished professional to provide leadership, supervision and direction for all aspects of the admissions operation including: recruiting and outreach; prospective student visits and campus events; processing, reporting and technology integration; marketing, publications, and web development.

Every Berea student receives a four-year tuition scholarship. Families of first year students are asked to contribute no more than the Expected Family Contribution (EFC) on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), thereby charging families only what the FAFSA suggests they can afford for their room, board and fees. The College generously supports the Berea Term Abroad program which sponsors approximately 50% of Berea students for an extended period of study abroad. All entering students are provided a laptop computer which is upgraded in the junior year and that students keep upon graduation. The benefits of enrollment at Berea are numerous and the beautiful, Georgian-style campus attracts many tourists and prospective students alike.     

All admitted students to Berea College are required to demonstrate financial need and the capacity to effectively participate in a dynamic and diverse learning environment. Interviews are required of applicants for admission in an effort to identify those students who are most likely to benefit from the broad and deep range of educational programs and generous scholarship support offered by Berea College.
 
Responsibilities:
The director will serve on several key campus committees as well as oversee the day to day operations of the Admissions Department with the help of committed and experienced assistant directors. This position requires an individual with the expertise to be immediately effective in achieving the high performance goals set by the Enrollment Advisory Council and the Admissions Team in its quest for qualified and success-oriented new students.
 
Qualifications:
The successful applicant for this key position will have an appropriate master's degree, a minimum of 5 years of management level admissions experience and will have demonstrated supervisory skills. The ability to work collaboratively and in a positive manner with a variety of campus constituents is essential, as are superior written and oral communication. Experience with first generation college families and familiarity with the Banner student information system or Hobsons Connect2 products are a plus.
