Higher Education & Student Affairs (M.A.)
"I chose The University of Iowa Master's program because of the interactions I had with faculty and graduate students. The students I met from the program were impressive and passionate about their work. When I met with the faculty, they did not automatically tell me to come to Iowa, they encouraged me to find the right fit." -MA student
Description

The HESA Master of Arts program integrates theory and practice and is designed to be completed in two years of full-time study. Through three distinct concentrations, the M.A. prepares individuals who wish to serve in advising, programming, administrative, management, and policy positions in two- and four-year postsecondary institutions or related public or private agencies. The program provides preparation for a wide variety of entry- to mid-level positions, including - but not limited to - admissions and orientation, student activities, academic advising, new student programs, career planning and placement, residence life, and international student services.

Our graduate students tend to be actively engaged in their own professional development through conference presentations, mentoring, research, and writing for publication.

Students pick from three concentrations when they apply to the program:

  • Student Affairs
  • Policy
  • Administration
