Master of Science in Student Personnel Administration in Higher Education

Program Overview

This is a program designed for professionals seeking careers in higher education. It may be completed in one year by doubling up courses, or 2-3 years if you seek a slower pace. Additionally, if you've ever considered a doctorate program, this program allows you to take 1 EdD course as an elective and seamlessly transition into our EdD program.

This program will prepare you in mind, body, and spirit – through courses grounded in student affairs – to provide you with a better understanding of how to bring your “whole self” to your profession. Whether you’re an associate dean, a director in admission, or a leader in resident life, you’ll graduate this program with a strong understanding of how to be the kind of servant-leader every student needs.

Think of all the ways you have benefited from a student affairs administrator while in school. Those are the types of things you’ll learn to do in this program. You’ll study the basics of student affairs administration and learn how generational, social, racial, ethnic, and religious diversity impacts the campus environment. You’ll also gain an understanding of the legal issues that crop up between public and private institutions and their governing boards, administrators, faculty, student affairs staff, and governmental bodies. You’ll explore higher education law, the role of law on campus, and the relationship between the law and the work in student affairs and athletics.

You’ll be surprised by how much you learn from your peers in this program, not just from their knowledge but from their own personal experience as a student. But to sum it up: everything you learn in this program will sharpen your leadership skills and edge you closer to being the servant leader you are destined to become.
