Program
The masters degree program in College Student Personnel is

university administration. It is designed to prepare thoughtful, compassionate
student and university service administrators armed with the knowledge,
skills and dispositions needed to serve in a wide and growing variety
of positions in post-secondary institutions. Among them are admissions,
orientation, career services, records, housing, diversity resources, disability
services, alumni affairs, Greek life, advising, judicial affairs, and
development. Resting on standards articulated by the Council for the Advancement
of Standards for Student Services/Student Development programs, the program
involves two years of study and includes two different practicum experiences.
