The Student Affairs Educator Certification offers seven credentials—a core certification plus six specialty areas, including Campus Recreation. This certification is geared towards early mid-level to late mid-level professionals, directors, and AVPs. Professionals interested in becoming certified must have experience in student affairs/services in a higher education setting. Those with a master’s degree or higher need at least three years, while those with a bachelor’s or associate’s degree need a minimum of four years.
