Program Curriculum

Enriching the student experience ­is the theme of our Master's Degree Program in College Student Personnel (CSP). The program offers knowledge and skills that help our graduates enrich student learning. Distinctive elements of our CSP program include the opportunity to have two unique practicum experiences in addition to the graduate assistantship and "specialized courses in College Student Affairs."

The program prepares promising entry-level professionals for direct service positions in various higher education settings by helping them attain the necessary skills to assume leadership positions. Most of our students attend full-time, gaining professional experience through graduate assistantships. Full-time students with assistantships usually take two years to complete the program.

The Ohio University College Student Personnel Program has a strong, collaborative relationship with the partner divisions and departments across campus. CSP students are involved as graduate assistants, interns, and practicum students.  They also serve on department, college, and division committees and participate in professional development programs annually. University partners participate in the professional development and educational preparation of CSP Master's Degree students. Student affairs administrators are also frequently asked to share their expertise as guest speakers in CSP core courses. Ohio University is fortunate to have strong relationships with well-respected and nationally awarded departments and divisions (e.g., The Division of Student Affairs) whose professionals are committed to partnership in the development of future student affairs professionals.
