Meet Our Faculty
Ryan Coughlan, Associate Professor, PhD, Rutgers University
In the MSEd-HEA program, we’re cultivating
thoughtful leaders who understand both the art and science of advancing postsecondary schooling. When I see our graduates making meaningful changes in their institutions, I’m reminded that our program is about more than career advancement. It’s about developing professionals who understand the deeper purpose of higher education and who have the tools to shape its future. Our students learn to balance administrative excellence with educational vision, ensuring that the business of running an institution never overshadows its mission of transforming lives.
Dr. Boland’s research explores the impact of state and federal public policies on higher education, particularly minority serving institutions (MSIs).

His work has been published in the American Education Research Journal, Research in Higher Education, the British Journal of Sociology of Education, Educational Policy, and Education Sciences. He has presented at the annual meetings of the American Educational Research Association, Association for Education Finance and Policy, and the Association for the Study of Higher Education. Dr. Boland obtained a PhD from the University of Pennsylvania.

My course includes a number of case studies that provide students a chance to study decision-making related to financial issues and problems. I also foster class discussion by providing recorded lectures and asking students to post presentations that can be reviewed prior to class. We keep abreast of real-time finance topics though student article presentations each week.
