Overview

The Master’s in Higher Education at Providence College consists of 30 credits of coursework and six credits of field experience.

Overview

Courses are carefully designed to build from theory to practice – with students moving from foundational coursework to more specialized areas as they move through the program. The field experiences provide a capstone that synthesizes theory and practice, and they prepare students to enter the higher education job market. Students who are professionals advancing in their careers through this program may, with approval, substitute additional coursework for internships.

Our recent internship experiences have included field placements in areas that include diversity and inclusion, learning support, adult education, personal counseling, and enrollment services. Students complete two internships of 150 hours each, which are intended to complement your coursework and give you practical experience in the field – adding a notch on your resume that makes you more employable.
