NACADA - Kansas State University Graduate Education
On-line Graduate Certificate in Academic Advising
On-line Master of Science in Academic Advising Degree
Kansas
State University offers both a Graduate
Certificate in Academic Advising in Higher Education
and a Master of Science
in Academic Advising Degree
in partnership with NACADA. Both
academic advising graduate programs provide an opportunity
for faculty, full-time academic advisors, and administrators
to gain an understanding of myriad issues and skills needed
to deliver effective academic advising at the post-secondary
level of education.
These
programs are designed for:
- advisors and administrators who
desire more formal education related to academic advising
- faculty seeking advising knowledge
beyond their discipline
- graduate students anticipating
academic advising roles in higher education.
- persons interested
in working directly with student athletes
The
Certificate program
involves 15 semester credit hours of coursework.
The Masters degree
offers additional coursework with two options: (1) "Advising
Administration" and (2) "Intercollegiate
Athletics and the College Student." All coursework
is offered at a distance via the Internet. Classes are
delivered within a semester time frame and are somewhat flexible
in schedule. Students work
independently, yet share comments and questions via electronic
communications.

Academic Advising Graduate Certificate Program has been
indispensable to me as an advisor. The courses covered
subjects on advising practice and theory, and so many
other aspects of student affairs that I'm involved with
on a day-to-day basis. The course instructors had a
great knowledge base and encouraged “class” discussion
through discussion boards and group projects. I learned
not only from instructors but also my fellow students
from institutions all across the country. What an opportunity
to take course work of this caliber in a format that
fit right in with my busy life. I would be hard pressed
to say who has benefited the most from the program -
me or the students I advise!

Technology Instructor, Purdue University
As
an advisor in a rural outreach site of a community college,
the program provided me with much needed guidance in
advising, theory, career development, learning processes,
and diversity.

I
learned theory and techniques that can be practically
applied in my everyday academic advising.
