Doctoral students who find it advantageous to include HIED content, methods, and policy analysis in their program of study may complete a minor in higher education. Students who are interested in the HIED doctoral minor should send a letter of interest to the administrative assistant of the HIED program (Susan Bass, sgb13@psu.edu) that includes a rationale for pursuing a minor in HIED.  Then, if approved by the professor-in-charge of the HIED program, the student will be required:

• To include a HIED faculty representative on their doctoral committee in the role of “Minor Field Member.”
