Program Overview
The Master of Education in Higher Education, with an emphasis in college student affairs and conflict management, is a 36-hour program designed to prepare you for a professional career in a broad range of higher education settings.
Higher education is understood increasingly as a holistic enterprise that requires not only a traditionally organized discipline-oriented faculty but also a cadre of professionals trained in co-curricular concerns—matters that command great importance in the lives of college students but are not commonly the focus of classroom experiences. This program is designed both for working student development professionals who reside in a higher education setting and need advanced training and for recent college graduates who have an interest in working in higher education.
The program will prepare you to incorporate faith-based principles in professional practice. Graduates will be qualified for roles such as residence life director, academic advisor, international student coordinator, financial aid counselor, intramurals director, career services advisor and many others. The degree will also provide a solid foundation for future doctoral work in higher education.
Beyond the required higher education curriculum, you may add one additional course and attend an additional one-week residency to earn ACU's Graduate Certificate in Conflict Resolution.
