Studies in Higher Education provide individuals who are interested in a variety of areas in higher education with the opportunity to explore the various facets of post-secondary institutions. This exploration is conducted from a uniquely Christian perspective.
Individuals who are interested in higher education administration, student personnel work, university development/advancement, or teaching on the college level will be well served by the M.Ed. in Higher Education degree. Students can choose from two different 36-hour, non-thesis degree tracks: the Administration Track or the Instructional Track. The Administration Track also has an optional Distance Learning Concentration. The Administration Track is available online.
