Overview

Program Description

The Higher Education Administration program at Northeastern University is designed to provide working professionals with the foundation to understand the structure, governance, and operation of various higher education organizations, and integrates opportunities for students to discuss current trends and issues in higher education. Students are provided the opportunity to develop solutions to real-world problems drawn from their work environment that can be readily deployed in their own work setting.

The online, interactive learning and group project-based work format allow students to network and build global connections. The MEd in Higher Education Administration has a strong foundation in experiential learning, offering ways for students to apply theory to practice through the Experiential Network (XN) or case studies. XN facilitates opportunities for students to work on short-term, real-world projects to complement their academic work.

Students and alumni of the program are invited to participate in the Graduate School of Education residency poster session, a networking opportunity where attendees exchange ideas on innovation and change work in the field.
