Lots of important Higher Education Administration info coming your way!
On November 14, 2017, the UA Higher Education Administration (HEA) program held its annual Fall Open House for prospective students to learn more about both HEA master’s and doctoral degrees. The evening began with an introduction and overview of HEA by Dr. Philo Hutcheson in a typical College of Education classroom, and included current students and faculty. Dr. Hutcheson shared details about the on-campus M.A., online M.A., Ed.D., Executive Ed.D., and Ph.D degree programs. After Dr. Hutcheson’s introduction, prospective MA and EdD/PhD students separated into two groups to learn more about the varying degree programs, curriculum, faculty expectations, funding opportunities, and the application process. Here are some of our most Frequently Asked Questions: Q. What opportunities are there for funding to pursue a HEA graduate degree? A. The Division of Student Life and UA’s various academic colleges offer a variety of Graduate Assistantships with tuition assistance, stipend, and other benefits. Past GAs have served in Housing and Residential Communities, First Year Experience & Retention Initiatives, the College of Communication & Information Sciences, and the Graduate School. Doctoral students seeking Research Assistant (RA) positions have worked with faculty within the program/department. You can also find other funding sources through the UA Graduate School. Q. What courses does a HEA student take? A. All programs of study are available on the HEA program website at the degree pages linked above. HEA courses are designed to develop scholars and scholar-practitioners who have the tools to act as agents of change in creating a more just society. Q. What are requirements to be considered for admission? A. All of the requirements are listed on the HEA website. If you have any questions about the admissions requirements and process for an HEA degree, please contact Dr. Arleene Breaux for the Executive Ed.D. program, Dr. Cindy Ann Kilgo for the on-campus MA program, and Dr. Karri Holley for all other HEA degree programs. At the conclusion of Open House, prospective students had the opportunity to attend the first 30 minutes of Dr. Krystal Williams’ AHE: 500 Perspectives on Higher Education class to get an idea for what a typical HEA course looks like. This course is the “introductory” course for first-year MA students. Important HEA Degree Program Application Deadlines
