Program Description

The M.Ed. in Higher Education program prepares those who aspire to leadership positions in student affairs and other key administrative areas within a college or university. Our graduates are employed in a variety of different types of postsecondary institutions, including: community and technical colleges, research universities, liberal arts colleges, and minority-serving colleges and universities.

Numerous studies have documented the impending ‘leadership gap’ in higher education, noting the insufficient number of qualified candidates prepared to assume the leadership roles that will soon be vacated by retirements. Our program is addressing this gap by equipping students with the knowledge and skills required to become the next generation of leaders in the field of higher education. Through relevant coursework, research opportunities, experiential learning, and professional developmental activities, our graduates are equipped to: 

• Thrive in the diverse, fast-paced, and often uncertain contexts unique to colleges and universities.
• Exhibit leadership qualities grounded in theory and effective practice.
• Positively influence student adjustment to college, academic performance, and ultimately, completion of a degree.
• Realign campus support services with student needs through meaningful strategic planning and policy analysis.
• Become change agents whose efforts ultimately lead to increased access and success for students, particularly for those from less advantaged backgrounds.
