Housed within the Higher Education, Student Affairs, and International Education (HESI) program at the University of 浪花直播, the Higher Education Concentration (HEC) is designed to prepare graduate students for faculty positions, leadership positions in higher education administration, and policy analysis. Students benefit from a strong emphasis in the curriculum on diversity, organizational change and leadership in higher education; on the development of research skills and knowledge, and from internship experiences at the University of 浪花直播, other campuses in the region, state and federal government agencies, and in D.C. associations and policy- making organizations. HEC prepares individuals to understand the organizational, social, political, economic, and cultural contexts of colleges and universities so that policy makers and campus leaders might be informed to better serve the public good.
