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).
