Higher Education

The exclusively graduate-level program in higher education, through its varied course offerings and structured learning experiences, meaningfully serves a broad clientele. Course offerings are designed primarily to train, sensitize, and broaden the information base of administrators and personnel already affiliated with institutions of higher learning, and to prepare others for employment with institutions of higher learning in Alabama and the Southeast.

The program in higher education administration offers three post baccalaureate degrees: the MA, EdD (as well as the EdD Executive Cohort), and PhD.  We are proud to offer high-quality graduate education that prepares leaders to act as agents of change to create a more just society. Working together, faculty and students engage in discovering and disseminating knowledge. The curriculum, centered on small seminar classes, is intended to produce scholars and scholar practitioners who can think critically about problems, discover ways to solve them, and put those solutions into practice.
