Brian Mueller has been president of Grand Canyon University since 2008, transforming a struggling institution into a leader in higher education.
He has reinvigorated GCU’s academic programs to focus on high-growth fields like computer science and engineering. By developing operational efficiencies, he has kept tuition frozen on the Phoenix campus for 16 years, making quality private Christian education affordable. He has also revitalized West Phoenix through impactful public-private partnerships.
Since Mueller's arrival, enrollment on the Phoenix campus has surged from under 1,000 to about 25,000, with online enrollment at 100,000. He has managed a $2 billion campus expansion, enhancing technologies, classrooms, and student facilities.
Mueller’s vision for Christian education is shaped by his experiences as a student and teacher. His passion shines in his Chapel service addresses, drawing stand-room-only crowds at GCU Arena.
