College Student Affairs Journal, v37 n2 p144-156 2019
With the 2015 update to the professional competencies document for the student affairs profession, the necessity exists to explore the professional development needs in each of the ten competency areas. This study investigates student affairs professionals' survey responses to determine their self-reported needs for professional development based on the ACPA [American College Personnel Association]/NASPA [National Association of Student Personnel Administrators] professional competency areas. Specifically, we reviewed the data by professional level (i.e. entry, mid-level, etc.). Findings reveal some competency areas of inconsistency and other clear needs for professional development and emphasis in graduate preparatory programs.
