Masters in College Student Personnel?

[Dionysus]

I have a Master's in Adult and Higher Education Administration. Many people with this degree where I went to school go into Student Affairs. I hope to get a position as a Student Activities Director one day. It's a really competitive field, and there seems to be no job availability in my area or any other nearby big cities...unless you want to do something like financial aid (gags). Now you'll find job openings in the middle of no where, like Montana. That's not my cup of tea.

Yes, this program tends to fall under the school of education.

I am currently earning a graduate certificate in Community College Instruction. I would like to be a student adviser, registrar, or admissions.

I think I want to look into earning either a masters in Higher Ed Administration or Counseling Education.

And yes, as previously posted...it is in the School of Education.

One of my good friends has a Masters in College Student Personnel Administration. She graduated last May, and is currently a Hall Director at Texas A&M. I'll pass your questions on to her. If you have additional questions, feel free to post them.

I'll graduate with my Masters in May. The job field is a little dry right now, especially for people not interested in residence life.

Most programs are within a counseling program in the education school at universities. Mine is under educational foundations.

Denise - look for things called SAHE (Student Affairs Higher Education). That's what IUP's is called, I was under the impression that was a fairly popular terminology.

Find a good one and maybe I will think about going with you.
