Watch my Masters of Science in Higher Education Administration [MHE] capstone presentation.
Course Description
This course focuses on giving you the time and tools you need to complete a quality capstone project. MHE670 also summarizes and synthesizes learning in higher education administration theory and practice through independent research and course work.
The MHE 670 course focuses on the student’s ability to conduct original research and apply best practices to a specific higher education management issue or situation that interests them. Specifically, students will apply their conceptual and/or theoretical knowledge about some specific slice of the higher education world to an applied project that they will identify, complete, and present at the end of this course.
