Higher Education M.Ed. - Online Students

Higher Education MEd – Online

Apply Request information

Many students who are interested in pursuing a master's degree in Higher Education have demanding work schedules or have other responsibilities that make full-time academic study difficult or impossible. Our online master's degree in Higher Education is designed with the busy professional in mind. Our online students already work in higher education or adjacent fields and typically have several years of professional experience.

Prospective students who have recently completed undergraduate degrees or do not have previous experience working in higher education are encouraged to apply to the in-person master's in Higher Education program rather than the online program. If you have questions about program fit, please contact Annie Stephany at info-leadership [at] umass [dot] edu (info-leadership[at]umass[dot]edu).
