Program Curriculum/Course Descriptions

Student personnel administration courses are designed to provide experience and training for professional work in many college, university and community settings.

Emphasis is placed on the role of the professional student personnel worker in admissions, residence halls, financial aid, registration, orientation, academic and personal advisement, counseling, international student activities, placement and career counseling, judicial affairs, college union and activities, minority student services, disabled student services and the administration of the student affairs program.

Students may focus on courses and internships in four specialized areas: administration and management, counseling and student development, adult and community education and research and evaluation. Additional opportunities to concentrate on community agency internships and other specialized electives may be of interest to individuals desiring to serve additional groups such as young adults and the aged.

Often those presently engaged or interested in college personnel work are also attracted to community agency, health delivery, law enforcement, personnel or teaching and consulting activities.
