Master of Education: Higher Education Administration Specialization

The Master of Education: Higher Education Administration Specialization is designed to prepare individuals to take on administrative roles within higher education or to advance to higher levels of leadership.

This is an online and on-campus blended format program and is appropriate for international applicants who want to study in the U.S. on a student visa.

The effective administration of institutions of higher education has never been so critical than at this time. Consider:

  • The President of the United States of America and the Secretary of Education are calling for access to higher education for all
  • European and Asian universities are ascending in quality; increasing as market forces
  • The electronic delivery of education is escalating, creating new pedagogy and delivery models
  • For-profit higher education is encroaching on a nonprofit domain once considered impregnable.

To meet these challenges, as well as changing demographics, financial concerns, and legal and policy requirements, administrators and leaders in higher education need to be increasingly sophisticated and knowledgeable.

The Master of Education with a specialization in higher education administration is designed to provide participants with an overall understanding of managerial concepts as well as the operational and strategic concepts that can lead to effective administration in this complex industry. This program is best suited for individuals seeking mid-to-senior level administrative roles within higher education.
