Upon successful completion of the program, Master's candidates will be awarded an M.Ed. degree. Our M.Ed. program will now also include an emphasis in higher education that will provide a broad base upon which students may build and advance their careers. Application Procedures and Requirements See Admission Procedures and Requirements. An approved internship complying with departmental standards and the State of Utah requirements is required of all students. Normally the internship takes place during the second year of the program.
Specific information regarding internships is available from the department.
Minimum field experience is 450 contact hours, although the department highly recommends all students to complete more than minimum requirements. The internship is taken concurrently with Ed. Master's students in Higher Education Administration will complete an internship or its equivalency relating to their area of career focus. Previous experience and current job placement will be considered as internship requirements are determined. The Higher Education Master's Advisory Committee will approve internship assignments.
