This is an online and on-campus blended format program.

The effective administration of institutions of higher education has never been so critical than at this time. Consider:

• The President of the United States of America and the Secretary of Education are calling for access to higher education for all
• European and Asian universities are ascending in quality; increasing as market forces
• The electronic delivery of education is escalating, creating new pedagogy and delivery models
• For-profit higher education is encroaching on a nonprofit domain once considered impregnable.

To meet these challenges, as well as changing demographics, financial concerns, and legal and policy requirements, administrators and leaders in higher education need to be increasingly sophisticated and knowledgeable.

The Higher Education Administration Certificate is designed to provide participants with an overall understanding of managerial concepts as well as the operational and strategic concepts that lead to effective administration. This program is best suited for individuals seeking mid-to-senior level administrative roles and individuals interested in transitioning from industry and other organizations into the academia.

The Certificate is comprised of 18 credit hours which may be applied toward the Master of Education in Higher Education Administration.
