Key Facts

Our graduate degree in Higher Education is designed to offer a generalist perspective on college and university administration, yet you can specialize your capstone in a particular area. Depending on your career plans in higher education, you may specialize your graduate studies in student affairs, enrollment management, resource management, and human resources, as well as focus on public, private, or Catholic institutions.According to 2023 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, New Jersey, Delaware, and New York are the top paying states for Postsecondary Educational Administrators. In locations where more students are enrolling at colleges and universities, this occupation is likely to see growth.
