PROGRAM STATEMENT
Colleges and universities all over the world face multiple challenges. These institutions need enlightened leaders and faculty who can guide various external audiences and internal constituencies toward new educational solutions to societal challenges. The Higher Education Program offers a Master of Arts in a broad array of education-related areas. This degree provides students with an opportunity to study various subjects in the field of higher education in order to meet the needs of entry- and mid-level academic administrators who are working directly with traditional and adult-oriented, student-related issues such as residence, student activities, or athletics. Course work has been arranged to allow students to specialize in four areas of elective concern, enabling them to have access to entry- and mid-level professional positions:
(1) diversity and higher learning
(2) college student development
(3) leadership and organizational change for professionals
These three concentrations enable students to choose their area of specialization, gain knowledge related to their career interests, and take practica and internships directly related to activities associated with administration, student life, or diversity and higher learning.
