Drexel University Launches a Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs
The new online Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs teaches professionals the fundamental competencies required of student affairs administrators.
Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) September 11, 2009 -- Drexel University Online, a leader in online degree programs, has added a new program to its offerings, the Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs from Drexel's School of Education.
Drexel University's online Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs prepares students to meet the ongoing changes and transformations occurring in society and affecting institutions of higher education. University administrators will need to learn how to make colleges supportive, learning-rich environments for all students ranging from traditional to adult learners. The Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs will teach students how to develop policies and practices that allow students to stay connected to each other and the institution in the face of technological and societal trends that will increasingly foster disconnectedness.
This certificate is available for students who have completed a bachelor's degree and would like to enhance their professional credentials without earning a master's degree. Equipped with a Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs, professionals can expect to find excellent job opportunities and career advancement within higher education institutions.
Similar to Drexel's other online degree programs and certificates, the Graduate Certificate in Student Development and Affairs is offered entirely online, and is intended for working professionals looking to earn certification without any career interruption. Students can learn anytime and anywhere with 24/7 online access to class materials, group discussion, instructor feedback and exams. With Drexel University's online degree programs and certificates, students earn the exact same degree as on campus. Drexel is ranked as one of the nation's top five most innovative universities by U.S.News & World Report.
