Description

Internationalization is one of the profound and transformational changes occurring in contemporary colleges and universities. Institution-wide commitment is needed if all students are to achieve leaning outcomes with international and intercultural content. This requires administrative leaders, staff and faculty to have a comprehensive understanding of internationalization, along with well-articulated skills, knowledge and dispositions to improve institutional capacity for internationalization. To meet this need, the Higher Education Administration and Student Personnel program offers a professional certificate program in the Internationalization of Higher Education, designed to strengthen students’ skills for working in college and university settings. The 15-credit hour certificate, which includes an internship experience, can be completed as a stand-alone program or as a complement to another degree program.

Admission Requirements

Applicants are required to have a Bachelor's degree; master's degree preferred and an undergraduate GPA of 3.000 or greater (any post-baccalaureate work will be taken into consideration when interpreting GPA). Applicant must meet the Higher Education Administration and Student Personnel program application criteria: official transcript(s), personal goal statement, two letters of recommendation and resume or vita.

Currently enrolled Kent State University graduate students should email the Office of Graduate Studies, gradapps@kent.edu, so that the office can view any materials on file (personal statement, transcripts, resume or vita and letters of recommendation).
