Higher Education and Student Affairs

Higher Education programs prepare
individuals for leadership roles in
colleges, universities and other
agencies devoted to adult learning.

The Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) program area consists of graduate degree programs in Higher Education and College Student Personnel. Our primary mission is to prepare people for leadership roles in colleges, universities, and other agencies devoted to adult learning. Adult learning occurs not only in traditional institutions of Higher Education, but also in business and industry, social and government agencies; the military and health care organizations.

These programs differentiate application and theoretical conceptualizations according to degree level. The masters programs focus on the development and application of skills, while the doctoral programs emphasize the study, development, and testing of theoretical concepts. Students progress through the degree levels from M.Ed. or Ph.D. while increasing integration among the components of the individual, organization, and society. The graduate programs are:

College Student Personnel (M.Ed.)
Higher Education (M.Ed.)
Higher Education (Ph.D.)
