MISSION

Higher Education in Review is an independent, refereed journal published by graduate students of the Higher Education Program at the Pennsylvania State University.  It is the first and only student-run, peer-reviewed journal publishing on contemporary topics in higher education. Our mission is to make a substantive contribution to the higher education literature through the publication of high-quality research studies, scholarly papers, and literature reviews in areas related to the university, the four-year college, and the community college. In so doing, we provide graduate students first-hand experience with the publishing process.
