Graduates of the College Student Personnel Administration master’s degree program will:
1) be prepared to enter the student affairs profession as practitioners in multiple administrative sub-fields (residence life, student activities, career services, etc.)
2) be able to use the foundations of theory and practical experience to make sound and ethical professional decisions.
3) be prepared to participate as professionals in the education of the whole student, consistent with the Jesuit value of cura personalis (“care for the person”), regardless of the institutional context of their work.
4) understand the value of contributing to their profession through participation in professional associations, and through activities such as presentations and publications and serving in leadership positions.
