Program at a glance: M.S.E. in Higher Education Student Affairs (HESA) Program
In the Department of Advanced Education Programs, you will work closely with a faculty advisor to plan your program of study in the way that will most benefit you. This program offers a great amount of flexibility, with classes offered in the fall, spring, and summer semesters. However, some of our classes can only be offered once a year or in some cases on an every other year basis. We provide this course rotation so you can see when the courses you need are offered, and ultimately so you can meet your graduation goals.
