Higher Education (HiEd)
Higher education focuses on the experiences, practices, and decisions of those involved in post-secondary education, as well as on the sociopolitical contexts in which higher education exists. Areas of concentration include administration and organization, policy, college students, external relations, equity-oriented change, and research integrity.
HiEd provides an opportunity for intensive study of the policies and organizational issues in higher education institutions and systems. Students enrolled in the HiEd track are the future leaders, university administrators, educators, policy analysts and researchers in the field of higher education. The program is selective. All new students begin the program in the fall semester.
This program is for applicants interested in:
- Organizational issues in higher education institutions and systems
- Relationships between discipline-based knowledge and fundamental policy
- Leadership in student affairs
