"I saw a very clear pathway at WMU to get more technical training to understand how higher education systems function."
Higher education and student affairs at WMU
The higher education and student affairs (HESA) concentration in the educational leadership program is offered in-person in Kalamazoo with opportunities to take some of your electives online. The HESA program operates like a cohort-based program with most students starting in fall semesters. Students from all undergraduate majors are welcome and the program serves full-and part-time students. The 39-credit hour curriculum combines a student development and leadership theory core, diversity and inclusion electives, and two individualized field experiences.
