Resolution to establish the Master of Education in Higher Education Administration

 

 

 

Whereas,                      the School of Education currently has an M.Ed. in Educational

                                    Leadership with formal concentrations in School Leadership and

                                    Adult/Post-Secondary Education, and

 

Whereas,                      the focus of the concentration in Adult/Post-Secondary Education

                                    is to prepare individuals for careers in colleges, universities, and

                                    the teaching of adult students, and

 

Whereas,                      changes in the accreditation standards of the School Leadership

                                    concentration has necessitated the establishment of a separate

                                    degree program in School Leadership that will result in no

                                    common courses with the Adult/Post-Secondary Concentration,

                                    and

 

Whereas,                      The School of Education has recognized the great need for a

                                    masters program to reach potential students not being served by

                                    current degrees, and

 

Whereas,                      the proposed M.Ed. program in Higher Education Administration

has been approved by the Graduate Curriculum Committees in the

School of Education and the College of Human Services, Education and            Public Policy, be it therefore

 

Resolved,                     that the Faculty Senate recommends that this degree be established provisionally for five years in the School of Education.
