About Higher Education MEd

In addition to coursework, our students gain practical experience in higher education administration through a required practicum, assistantships, and other positions. The curriculum gives them opportunities to reflect on these experiences and integrate them into their scholarly work.

Some of our students come directly from undergraduate programs, while others have extensive experience in higher education. They have a wide range of undergraduate degrees and many worked in campus administrative offices as undergraduates. Most complete the master’s program in two years as full-time students, but part-time enrollment is possible as well.

Our alumni go on to work in higher education administration, working in areas such as student affairs, residential life, student activities, academic advising, admissions, assessment, policy, and development.

If you not only want to work in, but also transform higher education, we encourage you to apply. 

Virtual information sessions will be held for Fall 2025 beginning August 2025.
