Higher Education and Student Affairs MA

at University of Connecticut

The 36-credit-hour HESA curriculum leads to a Master of Arts (MA) degree. Each year, HESA admits a cohort of approximately 18 to 20 students into the program. These students complete the core academic classes together over their two years of study. In addition, students have a variety of elective graduate courses that are offered through the Department of Educational Leadership or through another department. Students who are working full-time in higher education and related roles may also enroll in the HESA program on a part-time basis, completing the plan of study over six semesters.
