College Student Development

The Master of Science in College Student Development is intended to help you prepare for a career in student life sectors at colleges and universities. Using counseling skills and an understanding of human development as a base, this program emphasizes practical experiences (one practicum and four project-based apprenticeships, one of which will be developed into your thesis) working with our nationally recognized centers on campus, such as the Leonard Center (service learning), Calling and Career Center, First-Year programs, Global perspectives, and Student Leadership.
