About NYU Steinhardt’s Master’s in Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA)

Our MA degree blends academic study with practice through intensive internships at NYU and throughout the New York City metropolitan area. Part-time students combine academic study with their practice in current higher education positions.

You can select a program of study from a wide range of interdisciplinary courses, and have the option of selecting an unofficial area of study to design a course plan around one of the following areas: student affairs, administration and academic affairs, international education, workplace learning leadership, and social justice.

During the final semester of study, you’ll complete a capstone project that integrates your experiences in the program into a portfolio that communicates your developing areas of interest.

Graduates of the MA in Higher Education and Student Affairs are employed in entry-level and middle management positions in colleges and universities throughout the country. They hold positions as assistant deans, directors, and assistant directors of offices and programs in a broad spectrum of positions in student affairs and services.

Apply to be a full-time student by January 6. February 1 is the deadline for part-time enrollment.
