SPHE On-Campus M.Ed. Program

The SPHE On-Campus M.Ed. is designed for the full-time student and combines research and practice to develop well-rounded and highly marketable graduates for careers in student affairs and academic leadership. Encompassing the wide variety of knowledge and skills needed for the challenging environment of student affairs leadership, the program focuses on taking theory and research and putting it into practice, as well as using practice and experience to inform theory and research. Classes are taught by a balance of full-time faculty and full-time scholar practitioners who are leaders in their field and are committed to the development of students. Further, students are able to take their newfound knowledge and apply it directly through assistantships and internship experiences within one of the strongest, most comprehensive divisions of student affairs in the country.

Student Testimonials

One of the many reasons I chose SPHE was because of its strong theory-to-practice approach. I loved that many of my professors were also practitioners in the field, which allowed them to turn their daily experiences into learning opportunities for us as students. Not only did the program provide me with a number of experiences inside and outside of the classroom, such as practica and internship opportunities, it also prepared me for the ever-changing world of higher education. Now, as a doctoral student, I am thankful for the SPHE curriculum, the network it provided me with, and the memories that will last a lifetime!

UF SPHE is comprehensive, intentional, and excellence-driven. It continues to grow and development me as both an individual and professional. My graduate assistantship has been the best hands-on experience I could’ve asked for in a graduate program, and has enabled me to apply theory to practice in an exceptional way. From learning to address students’ needs and concerns, to fostering relationships with campus partners, to developing event and leadership programming, this opportunity has been invaluable. The faculty in this program make intentional effort to get to know you in a personal way and value your opinion when it comes to pressing issues in the field.
