Master's in Higher Education Administration
On-Campus Course Schedule for Spring 2024
Capstone
All students are required to complete a three-credit capstone project as the culminating experience of the program. This course, taken during the student’s last semester, demonstrates the student’s advanced grasp of the discipline of higher education administration and provides the opportunity to synthesize all of the theoretical and practical content taught during the program into one course experience. Each student works with a faculty advisor who serves as a guide through the detailed development and execution of the project and related deliverables. The capstone project is also an opportunity for students to develop connections and gain mentors to help them progress in their career upon graduation. To successfully fulfill the capstone requirement, students must complete an applied research project or an in-depth research paper, and defend their work in front of a panel of faculty and experts.
Note: This course meets synchronously through Zoom at the day and time listed. This course is a core requirement of the degree and requires a grade of "B" or better for successful completion. Registration requires department approval.
