Study the foundations of higher education—the philosophical, historical, and sociological foundations that undergird our work.

Geneva's Master of Arts in Higher Education program prepares you for a professional career in higher education by fostering a comprehensive understanding of key topics and important trends in the field.

Other requirements

General requirements

Perhaps the most important requirement for admission into the MA in Higher Education Program is a student's desire to pursue a vocation in service to God in the college or university setting.
We will also closely evaluate students' academic accomplishments in an accredited college (minimum GPA of 2.8 on a 4.0 scale); general preparation in pursuing a program in which biblical understanding is important; gifts, styles, and interests (through letters of recommendation); and, motivations for pursuing the degree (essay). The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is not required for admission.
The components of a completed application are described on the next page. Applications are reviewed as they are received.
