Studies in Higher Education provide individuals who are interested in a variety of areas in higher education with the opportunity to explore, with breadth and depth, 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 program is available online.

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the general graduate admission requirements, full admission to this program requires satisfactory scores on the verbal and quantitative or analytical sections of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE).  A student with a satisfactory grade point average may enroll their first semester without a GRE score.  The GRE must be completed prior to the second semester.
