Post-secondary Education Administrators

Education and Certifications Post-secondary Education Administrators Need

Most postsecondary education administrator positions require at least a master's degree from a variety of fields, including social work, accounting, or marketing. Postsecondary education administrators seeking a high-level position typically need a Ph.D. either in higher education or perhaps, if they were previously a professor, in the subject they taught.

Although no specific certifications or licenses are required for postsecondary education administrators, many employers – particularly in the registrar's office – require work experience.
