  • Description*

    This course provides an alternative to GST 691 Graduate Professional Internship that allows students to pursue further internship experiences as part of their program electives. HLE 600: Practicum in Higher Education Leadership aligns with the School of Education’s conceptual framework by providing graduate students with authentic, real-world learning experiences that foster critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership in higher education settings. Students will be able to apply social justice concepts from their coursework to their practical experience, preparing them to advance equity and excellence within their future institutions. The course integrates research-based knowledge and strategies while emphasizing reflection, encouraging students to critically assess their experiences and grow as lifelong learners. Additionally, collaboration and leadership are central, as students engage with faculty, administrators, and peers to address institutional challenges, reinforcing the School of Education’s commitment to developing transformative leaders.

    Write a concise catalog course description (50 words or less) for the college catalog, including the course goals and/or content.
  • Prerequisite:

    Instructor Approval

    Complete when there are actual prerequisite courses. Identify prerequisite courses and/or experiences; avoid cascading prerequisites by listing only the last course the student would be expected to take in sequence of courses.
  • Co-requisite:
    Indicate any course the student is also required to take along with this new course.
  • Equivalent Course:
    Use for equivalent courses where a student with credit in one may not earn credit in the other. Example: HIS 504 – “Not open to students who have credit in ANT 503.”
  • Offered:*
    Check all that apply
  • If "other" selected above, please provide detailed offering information:
  • Credit:*
    3
    3
    Indicate credit hours appropriate to course content. Variable credit courses should list “low figure OR high figure” or “low figure TO high figure.” The low figure represents the minimum number of credits for which a student may enroll in any one semester or term. The high figure represents the maximum number of credits for which a student may enroll in any one semester or term. Where a course is to be taken only for one credit value OR another higher credit value, the entry would be "(low value OR high value)." For example, if a course may be taken for either 3 or 6 credits (never less than 3, never 4 or 5, never more than 6), the entry would be 3 OR 6. Variable credit courses that may be taken for a range of credit, such as, from 1 to 9 credits (including 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 credits, but never exceeding 9) the entry would be "(1 TO 9)" credits.
