HESA Leadership Interview Days for Spring 2012
The HESA Leadership Interview Days held on March 1 & 2, 2012 were a huge success. This year's program provided an opportunity for incoming and current HESA master's students to become familiar with the campus and program, as well as interview for GA positions. While admissions to participate in this program is now closed, we are still considering admissions to the graduate program for exceptional applicants; please note that as of today, the Fall 2012 cohort is almost full. Stay tuned for the dates for the 2013 HESA Leadership Interview Days (likely to be February 28-March 1).
The master's degree concentration in higher education and student affairs (HESA) is designed to prepare students for entry and mid-level professional positions in colleges, community colleges, and universities. Typically, these positions include administrative roles in admissions, academic advising, residence life, student activities, financial aid, career services, and offices designed to support and retain historically underserved student populations (e.g., multicultural affairs, LGBT Services, services for students with disabilities, women's centers, veteran and military services, offices for foster care youth, etc.)
The HESA program:
- has a broad-based higher education and leadership focus
- emphasizes attention to historically marginalized and/or underserved student populations through a required and individually designed diversity cognate (6 credit hours selected by the student with help from an advisor)
- meets CAS Standards for student affairs graduate programs with a curriculum of 39 credit hours and two distinct site-based field experiences.
