Higher education

Students doing graduate work in higher education will study policies and organizational issues in higher education institutions and systems. As they progress from the master's level to the doctoral level, students may choose to focus on administration and organization, policy and evaluation, leadership in student affairs, or leadership and policy in two-year institutions. Higher education attracts future university and college administrators and educators, policy analysts, education researchers, and others who want to expand their knowledge base and take on leadership roles in educational settings.

Application procedures and tuition and fees correspond to those of the Graduate School.
