Program Curriculum
College Student Affairs Administration
The CSAA-M Program is designed to prepare professionals for work in institutions of higher education. Students are awarded the Master of Education (M.Ed.) degree upon completion of all the program requirements. The primary purpose of the preparation program is to aid graduate students in acquiring the skills and competencies necessary to apply human development and administrative principles to work with college students in higher education organizations.
The program is a generalist preparation program that is designed to provide students with opportunities to learn about student affairs philosophy and practices applicable to a wide range of settings. Graduates are expected to have acquired the theoretical knowledge and practical experience needed by entry-level professionals. Classroom instruction is enriched and expanded through practical, experiential activities such as practica, simulations, service-learning, and internship experiences. Approximately two-thirds of the curriculum is comprised of academic courses, with the remaining one-third being supervised practice.
The CSAA-M curriculum is designed to provide academic and scholarly content in an environmental context, providing students a support system to aid in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and competencies essential for successful practice in the field of student affairs. Students share a common core of courses related to human development, helping skills, and student affairs administration. Assessment of learning includes course-based evaluation, performance evaluation by site supervisors, and a comprehensive examination in the second year.
