新濠天地app提供几个研究生课程，包括一个 高等教育硕士(MAHE)项目. 这个项目有两种不同的风格. 研究生可以完成MAHE作为一个队列项目, where they attend classes on campus and can 工作 as graduate assistants at the College. 这个项目的另一种风格是新濠天地app模式. The institute model is designed to be more attainable for adults already 工作ing in their field. 研究生 students in this model complete most of their courses online, but also come onto campus for a couple weeks of intensive learning during the summer.
Laura Sizelove and Justine Dyk are both students currently pursuing their education through the MAHE Institute at Geneva. Laura lives and 工作s in California as the director of K-12 admissions at a private Christian school. Justine lives and 工作s in Ontario as the director of events for a Christian think tank. Laura and Justine were both connected with the North American Coalition for Christian 招生 Professionals (NACCAP), which offers a one-year certification program called 领导 Development for Enrollment Professionals (LDEP). Laura and Justine were connected to 新濠天地app大学 through NACCAP’s LDEP program, and they both wanted to continue their education through Geneva’s MAHE Institute after having a sampling of Geneva’s MAHE course工作 through LDEP.
Justine Dyk 工作s as the director of events for a Christian think tank, but she says that all of her 工作 experience has been “education-adjacent.“她一开始是在活动中工作, then transitioned to 工作ing in admissions for a Christian University. While 工作ing in college admissions, she became a manager over the admissions councilors. 在她过渡到管理层的过程中, 她的导师推荐了LDEP项目, 贾斯汀说这是“改变游戏规则”.” Through the LDEP program she learned to see admissions more broadly and consider what positive changes could be implemented. She says that the Geneva MAHE program takes what she learned with LDEP a step further.
As Justine talks about her experience with the Geneva MAHE Institute program she says, “I’ve found that the education has been so broad that you can connect it to any field in the higher ed world, 但并不是说它不适用于你正在做的事情.” She has found that being in a master’s program is a step above being in an undergraduate program because she now has greater accumulated knowledge and career experience that can be applied to her study of higher education. She describes the program as “much more applicable, which makes it so much more engaging.” She has been able to connect the material she learns in class to real-world scenarios that she has faced in the 工作place. 此外, she has also found that what she learns through this program immediately impacts the 工作 that she is doing in her job.
贾斯汀还谈到要努力平衡学习和工作. She says that “another thing I’ve really appreciated about this program is how flexible it is for the fully 工作ing person.” She has firsthand seen that the professors are willing to 工作 with students, 以确保他们得到该计划所提供的一切, 同时也能平衡学业, 工作, 和生活. She offers some advice to anyone considering the program, “It is highly worthwhile. 它适用于任何领域. 如果你在看高等教育, 但我认为高等教育可能太狭隘了, 我没有觉得这太窄. In general, if you are looking to be somewhere in leadership, this is an applicable program.”
Laura Sizelove also talks about her experience in the MAHE Institute program. She currently 工作s as the director of K-12 admissions for a private Christian school, but prior to that she spent 15 years 工作ing in admissions for Biola University and 10 years 工作ing in pastoral ministry. 她解释说，新濠天地app的模式对她来说非常有效. Since she 工作s in California, she needed a program that was mostly online. 她说，她是“新濠天地app模式的坚定支持者.她解释道, “我喜欢新濠天地app模式，而不是完全在线的模式, because there are so many elements that you learn when you are connecting with people face-to-face.” The personal connection that can be found through the institute model gives Geneva’s MAHE an additional component that fully online programs lack.
She talks about her experience with the Geneva program specifically saying, “What I love about the Geneva program is definitely the interaction with the faculty. The classes are not large, which is great because you can’t be invisible.“新濠天地app的MAHE项目在参与和讨论中蓬勃发展. Laura values this opportunity to engage personally with the material. She has found that she was able to customize and adapt her education to her area of expertise. She has seen how her education in the MAHE Institute has been valuable for 工作 in enrollment with K-12 students. She also remarks there is significant similarity between high school and college. 当然也有不同, she has been able to apply what learns about higher education to her 工作 with K-12 students.
Laura and Justine have both appreciated the opportunity to continue their education through Geneva’s MAHE program and have expressed the belief that the MAHE program is very valuable to their 工作. MAHE项目还提供队列模式, 而是为像劳拉和贾斯汀这样的在职成年人准备的, 新濠天地app模式提供了更大的灵活性. They have been able to receive a quality Geneva education while 工作ing at their remote locations. While the MAHE institute program might not be right for everyone, 这对劳拉和贾斯汀来说确实很有价值, and could be valuable for anyone 工作ing in higher education or leadership.
