Master's in Higher and Postsecondary Education
A Master of Arts (M.A.) in higher and postsecondary education is offered as preparation for entry- or mid-level administrative positions in colleges and university units such as student affairs, financial aid, development, community relations, etc. Alternatively, graduates also pursue careers with professional associations, or various agencies (e.g. governmental, non-profit, etc.) related to higher education issues.
This program is designed with the full-time student in mind. Coursework is offered primarily during the academic year between the hours of 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM. The typical time to completion is three semesters, a year and a half (Year 1: Fall & Winter Semesters; Year 2: Fall Semester). It is possible to complete the program either part-time or full-time at an accelerated pace over 12 months. Please contact CSHPE for more info on either option.
An integral part of CSHPE Master’s curriculum is a year-long internship, selected by individual students based upon personal career goals. These opportunities are developed specifically for Higher Education master's students and most include a paid hourly stipend.
