PROGRAM STATEMENT

For over 40 years, the College Student Personnel Program at BGSU has been preparing graduate students to become practitioners and scholars in higher education and student affairs administration at the post-secondary level. Requirements of the 45-semester-hour program include a balance of classroom-based academic learning and field-based experiential learning. Students are challenged by professional responsibilities in internships and practica and are exposed to theoretical frameworks providing a foundation for understanding the undergraduate learning experience. Interns serve in a variety of roles on the BGSU campus or at one of our partnership institutions.

The intentionally-designed curriculum places an emphasis on mastering the concepts of human development and examining the implications of this knowledge base for the design of educational practice in general and the implementation of student services in particular. In addition, the College Student Personnel and Higher Education Administration programs strive to uphold a set of ten core values that have been developed on behalf of students, faculty, and staff.  

Our 7 full-time faculty who are accomplished teachers and researchers. While maintaining high student contact, they are also active throughout the campus and in professional associations and provide service and scholarship to a national constituency.
 
Over 1,500 alumni are serving institutions coast-to-coast and abroad.
