A month after I graduated, I applied for a director position and got it. I would attribute
my success to this program because of the people who were in the program, the support
and the content I learned helped me be successful and is helping me be successful
in my role currently."
When I was looking into master’s programs and graduate school, I really wanted a program
that was not only going to give me relevant insight on the unique challenges that
higher education is facing but I also wanted it to be student focused and I wanted
to learn more about student success. It had a relevant curriculum that gave me both."
This program was fantastic. My professors genuinely wanted to help me grow and progress.
I loved the cohort model, and I was able to build lasting relationships that made
the program even more enjoyable. Time and time again I was able to apply what I was
learning to my work. The capstone project allowed me to help tackle problems my position
was experiencing at the university level. I was able to make recommendations to university
leaders and shed light on an issue that was important to many. My recommendations
for change were taken seriously and some were implemented! I would highly recommend
this program to anyone who wants to be a more effective leader at their university."To be considered for admission, individuals interested in earning their M.Ed. at UVU must successfully complete all admission criteria.
