HIGHER EDUCATION PROGRAM

Online M.Ed. Curriculum Guide

This program of study is completed in HI ED 490 and updated each semester, in consultation
with the students advisor. While four courses are required for the M.Ed., students have the
option of choosing an area of emphasis (e.g., Administration/Leadership, Student Engagement or
Institutional Research, as indicated below), or designing their program of study to match their
intended career path. Note that if students do not have work experience in Higher Education, an
internship is highly recommended (HI ED 595). In addition to developing a program of study
with coursework required for the M.Ed degree, students should also develop a co-curricular plan.
