Overview
The Higher Education program at the University of Maryland is a community of ten full-time faculty members with master’s and doctoral students who share an interest in the study of higher education, student affairs, and/or international education policy.
We have selected you as a student on the basis of your previous academic and professional achievements. We pride ourselves on the diversity of our students’ backgrounds, and your practical and research experiences prior to enrolling in our program is one of our major strengths.
The purpose of the program is to provide you with the conceptual understandings and professional skills that will permit you to eventually fill a leadership role in educational institutions and agencies as a reflective practitioner and/or as an active scholar in the field. These goals will vary slightly based on your ultimate career goal, and in which of the three concentrations you are enrolled.
