The Masters of Higher Education online provides graduates with the skills necessary for careers in administration and student services at a junior college, college, or university. The higher education degree emphasizes a multidisciplinary perspective as a basis for developing effective administrators and policy-makers.

The Masters of Higher Education online is an ideal degree for someone who wishes to work in the higher education field in student affairs or administrative capacity — either working directly with students or in a service-related or administrative department.
The MEd online degree in Higher Education is a 33-hour, non-thesis degree consisting of 24 hours of core courses and a 9-hour concentration. Students may choose from four concentrations: Business Management, Christian Studies, Counseling or Learning, Technology, and Design.
