Program Description

Guided by Morgan State University’s Strategic Plan (2011-2021), the Master of Education (MEd) in Community College Administration and Instruction meets the growing need for advanced degrees for mid-level administrators, student affairs professionals, and instructional leaders in the community college.

Program Objectives

• Increasing diversity in American community colleges by committing to strengthening the roles and voices of diverse populations.

• Collaborating with community colleges and community college organizations to form partnerships and initiatives that develop real-world competencies.

• Transforming and developing community college leaders who have global awareness and respond, understand and contribute to the rapidly changing world.

General Requirements

The program requires completion of 30 credit hours, including an internship or practicum. Previously completed credits cannot be used to reduce the minimum credit-hour requirements. All candidates must select a specialized internship or practicum in a community college. The internship must be approved by the Program Director prior to beginning the internship. All requirements for the MEd degree in Community College Administration and Instruction must be completed within a period of five consecutive years. The granting of a leave of absence by the School of Graduate Studies does not automatically extend the time limit.

Admission

To be eligible for admission to the Master of Education Program in Community College Administration and Instruction an applicant must have:

·   A Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution

·   A baccalaureate cumulative GPA of 2.5

Applicants must also submit the following:

·   Two letters of recommendation

·   Official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions attended

·   Completed MSU admission application

·   Personal statement

Meeting the minimum eligibility requirements and submitting all the required documents does not guarantee an offer of admission will be made to the applicant. The decision of the Program Admissions Committee involves a review and analysis of all the elements of the application as well as the availability of positions in the program.  The committee then recommends to the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies that an offer of admission should be made based on that review.
