Higher Education - Student Services Concentration

Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership

The Higher Education - Student Services concentration of the online Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership is designed for administrators working in university and college departments that deal with students' non-educational needs, such as financial aid, residences, and admissions.

The concentration explores subjects related to organizational leadership in this environment, such as:

• The higher education mission, the institution-student relationship, and relevant laws, standards, and ethics
• Planning, staffing, and budgeting of student services programs
• Serving a culturally and demographically diverse student body, including non-traditional and adult students
• The organization and governance of higher education institutions
• Effective team development and management to create a staff that anticipates and meets students' needs

The value of advanced degrees and expertise is understood and appreciated in higher education, so a master's degree is a significant advantage for those seeking these types of non-academic-related positions in the field, which often require them.
