EDUC 6155: Understanding Higher Education
Discussion: Beginning With the End in Mind
The Richard W. Riley College of Education and Leadership Web site and the "Welcome to Walden University and Graduate Study" documents describe Walden University's vision, mission, and culture of scholarship and provide an overview of your master's degree program. The media segment, "Higher Education Today: Issues and Challenges," highlights the excitement, opportunity, and challenge presented by working in higher education today.
Imagine you have completed your master's program and are embarking on a job search. What do you want to be able to say in your cover letter about your ability to contribute to the profession of higher education? How has your experience in the Master of Science in Higher Education program at Walden University prepared you for these opportunities?
