Academic Advising Graduate Programs
We offer three graduate programs in academic advising: a Certificate in Academic Advising, a Master’s degree in Academic Advising, and a Ph.D. in Leadership in Academic Advising. Both programs are offered online and were developed in collaboration with NACADA: The Global Community for Academic Advising (NACADA).
The Academic Advising programs offer a resource guide through Canvas. If you are not automatically invited as a new student, please reach out to secsa@ksu.edu in order to be added.
