Higher Education in CSHPE: Doctoral Degree Programs
In the Higher Education Ph.D. program at the University of Michigan School of Education, all students are expected and encouraged to think rigorously; understand and appreciate the craft of scholarship and research; demonstrate interest in and a capacity to make a difference in postsecondary education; be actively committed to diversity; and have aspirations for becoming leaders of the highest integrity. It is the goal of this program to develop leaders for institutions of higher and postsecondary education who can lead institutions effectively, conduct scholarly research, and contribute in a meaningful and distinctive way to the overall development of the profession.
CSHPE doctoral students have four primary concentration areas from which to choose. Each concentration offers a comprehensive, yet focused analysis of the complex issues facing higher education today.

Academic Affairs and Student Development (AA & SD)
Organizational Behavior and Management (OB & M)
Public Policy in Postsecondary Education
