2026 CBMI

July 26–31, 2026

Join us in Lexington for CBMI 2026 to be held July 26 - 31.

Co-sponsored by SACUBO and the University of Kentucky, the College Business Management Institute (CBMI) offers an intensive course of study in business and financial management for administrators of colleges and universities. Ranging from entry-level to advanced, over 80 courses were taught during CBMI 2025 by distinguished faculty who are practicing administrators and leaders in their fields.

CBMI is designed to provide participants with an overview of current issues and procedures applicable to institutions of higher education large and small, public and private. Individuals participate in one week of instruction each summer for three years to earn a certificate of completion. About 850 business officers and administrators, representing 204 institutions from 27 states, attended CBMI in 2025.
