Higher Education Master of Arts (MA)

MA students gain knowledge about higher education as a field of study with particular emphases based on their academic and professional career interests.

These include four concentrations, each with its own distinctive strategies to prepare competent practitioners who have access to entry- and mid-level professional positions in:

  • Student Development
  • Organization and Governance
  • Diversity and Higher Learning
  • Leadership and Organizational Change for Professionals. This concentration enables students to choose their area of specialization, gain knowledge related to their career interests, and take specialized courses and internships directly related to activities associated with administration, student development, admissions and advising; teaching and learning; or sports administration.

A limited number of Graduate Assistantships in the Student Life office are available.  Although MA applicants in the Diversity and Higher Learning and Organization and Governance Tracks may apply for the student life assistantships, preference is given to those in the Student Development Track.  CLICK HERE for further information.
