Higher education focuses on administration and teaching. In administration, the program focuses on preparing individuals for leadership positions in higher education. Required coursework examines the background of higher education, the study of internal organizational standards, policy perspectives, and the principles of finance and governance.
In college teaching, the program assists students in examining pedagogy and curriculum development on the collegiate level. Coursework provides an opportunity to examine the theory and practice of college teaching, professsional development, and the nature of students and the collegiate environment.
The area of institutional research, at the doctoral level only, is designed for those interested in research and long-range planning for institutions of higher education. Analysis of current curricula, enrollment, and financial options promote comprehensive institutional self-study and strategic planning.
