Overview

More than a degree, the Administrative Leadership course at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee is a transformative experience dedicated to empowering leaders and fostering equity and inclusion in diverse settings.

Career

The master’s degree concentration in adult, continuing and higher education administration prepares students for positions of administration and leadership in business, community and higher education environments.

Principles

To make substantial social change, students must have a clear understanding of how to create inclusive policies, practices and environments. As an equity-focused program, we believe in the following principles:

Theory to Practice: Theories and research should inform international, national and community policies and practices in adult and higher education. Our graduates should be able to use research and theory to guide their practice.

Leadership Focused: Graduates will be prepared to use leadership skills in dynamic ways in order make transformative changes within adult and higher education.

Equity-Centered: We believe graduates should have the language, tools, knowledge and skills to create equity-centered adult and higher education environments.

Collaborative Learning: Graduates work across different levels of abilities, world views, diversity and knowledge in multiple work environments. We believe graduates should be critical thinkers in order to solve problems and cultivate solutions to change the landscape of adult and higher education both collectively and individually.

Community Partnership Research: Graduate students collaboratively work with communities in order to inform their practice. As faculty members, we are committed to producing scholarship that includes and promotes collaborative and participatory engagement.
