Subject: Grad Degree Program Approval and Registration - MS in Higher Education

curricular change) *
Congratulations, for the second time this week, to colleagues in our School of Education on the final New York
State approval and registration of a new stand-alone M.S. degree program in Higher Education! This new
program was “disaggregated” from our existing M.S. in Educational Policy & Leadership (previously
Educational Administration) Formal approval correspondence is attached for your reference, along with the
program proposal itself and a recent clarifying email that details some minor structural modifications from the
original proposal. The faculty are now authorized to promote and deliver this new stand-alone program to
students.
l ask that responsible colleagues receiving this notice, as appropriate to responsibilities, take actions as
warranted to establish the new program listing in the Grad Bulletin and University administrative
systems. Too, the Higher Ed concentration in the existing MS in Ed Policy & Leadership can be inactivated. As
illustrated in the proposal, it is expected that enrollees will complete the new 36 credit program in two years if
studying on a full-time basis, although such is not required.
