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:

1. advisors and administrators who desire more formal education related to academic advising
2. faculty seeking advising knowledge beyond their discipline
3. graduate students anticipating academic advising roles in higher education.
4. 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.
