WHAT IS THE PMC?
The PMC in Higher Education Leadership is a 16-credit (4 course) program designed for current administrators who want to update and expand their knowledge of higher education, explore the social justice and transformational potential of colleges and universities, and hone their leadership skills. Specifically, students will be able to advance their careers toward senior administrative positions in higher education.
WHY DO MOST STUDENTS DECIDE TO EARN THE PMC?
Students’ goals are individual and vary, but many students want to deepen their understanding of higher education, prepare for future professional opportunities, and participate in fulfilling the social justice potential of colleges and universities. Others are in positions outside of higher education who are considering a career change.
WHEN DO CLASSES MEET?
All classes meet on week nights starting at 5:30 P.M. to accommodate working professionals.
