Distinguishing Strengths of the SAAHE ProgramPractical Experience
The program at Ball State combines a strong core of classroom experience with a heavy emphasis on opportunities for students to be involved in practical, applied work settings through their assistantships and practica.
Faculty are also Administrators
A strength of the program is that many of the faculty who teach courses or supervise practica and assistantships hold administrative posts in the student affairs division. These individuals enrich the learning experience for students through their formal academic preparation in higher education combined with practical understanding of the operation of the university. The combination of full-time faculty and administrative faculty gives students not only a broad base of knowledge but also examples of immediate application.
