The Master of Science in Education (MSEd) program in higher education administration offers a curriculum that emphasizes higher education management, student services, personnel management, information systems, and institutional leadership. This program is designed to prepare the student for administrative leadership and supervisory positions in postsecondary institutions, including community colleges, senior colleges, and universities.
Students in the MSEd program are required to complete 30 - 33 credits. Students who do not have a minimum of one years experience in an administrative position in higher education are required to complete a 3-credit internship.

*The internship is required of candidates who have less than one years experience in an administrative position in higher education. A student with such experience may apply for a waiver of this requirement. The students experience will be evaluated by a graduate advisor before an internship waiver is granted. If the internship is required, it is done as field/site work and independent study with hours to be arranged for consultations with a faculty intern advisor.
