Learning Activities

Programme Curriculum

The master’s degree in higher education administration consists of a set of integrated courses that will complement learning opportunities through the required assistantship and internship experiences. The program faculty believe that administrators in a higher education setting are better prepared when they understand the larger system of higher education institutions. Students are able to select content electives in areas such as: higher education law, diversity in higher education, and others that might complement specific professional interests. A for-credit internship experience is also an option.
