"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.
