The PhD program in Higher Education Administration recognizes the breadth of prior experiences, the various career paths of our students, and the diversity of post-graduate opportunities students may pursue. Given this, there are five primary goals of the PhD program:
- To provide students with grounding in the conceptual underpinnings of the practice of higher education
- To provide students with a broad appreciation and understanding of educational systems in social, historical, and normative perspectives as one basis for the exercise of educational leadership
- To expand students' theoretical understanding of administrative practice through interdisciplinary study of higher education administration
- To convey inquiry skills useful to the practice of higher education and to research in the field
- To provide opportunities to connect theoretical understanding to problems and contexts of practice through field-based experiences
