Register here and learn more about this high-quality program from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 6 in the Maple-Dogwood Room on the second floor of the Morris University Center at SIUE.
Housed in the Department of Educational Leadership, the College Student Personnel Administration program provides an educational opportunity for student affairs employees or anyone interested in pursuing a career in higher education student affairs.
“Students will develop critical leadership skills through the program’s combination of advanced research, applied coursework and practicum experiences,” said Curt Lox, dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Behavior.
The program will prepare students to succeed in entry- to mid-level student affairs or higher education administration positions in two-year or four-year public and private institutions. Occupations in this category include directors and other positions in multiple areas in colleges and universities, such as financial aid, advising, service learning, Greek life, residential life and international programs.
“The program is aimed at both part-time and full-time students,” Lox explained. “Those students who are employed in full-time day jobs will have the opportunity to attend since the program is delivered primarily in the evenings. At the same time, there are sufficient course offerings, as well as opportunities for graduate assistantships, for full-time students.”
The 36-hour program includes 27 hours of coursework in college student personnel administration, six hours of practicum and three hours of final research project. Students are encouraged to apply now for the fall cohort, as space is limited.
