Educational Administration Program

Adult and Higher Education


The degree in Educational Administration with an emphasis in Adult and Higher Education is designed to meet the needs of individuals who work (or plan to work) in an administrative capacity with adult learners.  The degree does not lead to an endorsement on the South Dakota teaching certificate.   Students are able to choose from either a program in which only courseware is required or a program in which they must complete a research project.  If a student elects to take only course work (Plan C in the Graduate Catalog), the student must complete a minimum of 35 credit hours in order to graduate.  If the research option is chosen, the student must complete a minimum of 32 credit hours including AHED 788 Research Problems in Adult Education.

The following courses are required of all students completing their Educational Administration degrees with an Adult and Higher Education emphasis at either Brookings or West River Graduate Center.
