Designed to fit your life
MBU’s online MS in Higher Education is designed for working adults looking to advance their administrative standing to become program directors, associate deans, or serve in university support settings, such as financial aid, academic advising, athletics, or other student affairs career paths.
Our online program is flexible and offers part-time or full-time graduate study and an option to accelerate through the program with completion in as little as five semesters. Feedback is regular and personalized. MBU uses Blackboard Learn Learning Management System to deliver course work utilizing both synchronous and asynchronous learning platforms, with IT assistance if needed to bring their technology skills up to speed for today’s professionals.
The fact that you are able to tailor your Master’s program to your career path has been instrumental in my chosen career of collegiate sports information. From my classes, to my internship, through my thesis, I was able to focus on athletics. Without that I would not be where I am today.
