At the completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
  • Discuss the role and principles of andragogy and its application, distinguishing it from traditional pedagogical approaches to educating students.
  • Describe how an innovative administration and leadership master’s program incorporated principles of andragogy and the effects program design has had on students, students’ employers while completing the program, and the continued growth of the program.
  • Examine professional activities and principles of andragogy to implement in their own institutions/programs.
Explore an innovative approach to graduate education through the incorporation of andragogy and constructivism exemplified in a Master of Science program specializing in pharmacy administration and leadership. This program describes how these two philosophies coupled with real-world application and action learning address the critical shortage of leaders while benefiting both students and employers, fostering continuous enrollment growth.
