College Student Services Adminstration Program

Founded in 1966, the College Student Services Administration (CSSA) master’s program (http://oregonstate.edu/education/programs/cssa.html)  has a history of excellence and success. 

The program’s primary mission is to prepare individuals for professional administrative positions in student services departments at two- and four-year colleges and universities. The curriculum emphasizes administrative leadership and management of programs and services. Included in these programs and services are:

• residence halls and student housing;
• enrollment management (admissions, orientation, and financial aid);
• career services;
• college unions;
• student and co-curricular activities;
• recreational sports;
• international programs;
• individual and group advising;
• general student affairs/services; and
• other student and academic support programs.

CASA Latina/o de OSU works closely with graduate students in the CSSA program to develop meaningful learning opportunities through internships.  This year six graduate students collaborated with the CASA office to develop a campus wide mentoring program and a leadership program specifically for those students who are interested in leadership development from the perspective of Latino cultures.
