Our graduate program in higher education and student affairs is one of the oldest graduate programs in the United States. We started offering courses more than 50 years ago. For many years we have been considered one of the leading graduate

programs in the country. We are consistently ranked among the top ten graduate programs by U.S News and World Report. Perhaps more so than any other graduate program in the country our faculty possess a unique blend of strong scholarly records and extensive experience in senior administrative roles. As a result they bring a rich understanding of leading research in their areas of expertise along with the ability to translate their ideas into the practical world of public and institutional policymaking. Collectively our faculty resources include expertise in the areas of: assessment and evaluation, comparative education, economics and finance, enrollment management, institutional research, policy studies, student affairs, student development, student engagement, and teaching and learning.

graduate program that is simultaneously located on the Bloomington campus, the

original residential public flagship campus of indiana university, and at iuPui, the

vibrant urban research campus of indiana university. Students can gain a wide variety

of practical experiences on these two campuses. the faculty are located on both

The IU Higher Education and Student Affairs faculty are heavily involved in funded research and development projects that touch on many of the most pressing public policy issues facing postsecondary education in the United States as well as other countries. In the past five years, faculty have

received funding from Lumina Foundation for Education, The Spencer Foundation, The College Board, The Teagle Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Surdna Foundation, and the Career College Association. In addition, several national and international ongoing projects related to student engagement, student success, and the college student experience are based at Indiana University, including the National Survey of Student Engagement, the Beginning College Student Survey of Student Engagement, the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement, the Law Student Survey of Student Engagement, the College Student Experience Questionnaire, and the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project. Collectively these activities have generated in excess of 24 million dollars in grants, contracts and other income that provide many opportunities for students to work directly with faculty members and peers on intellectually stimulating activities and, equally important, underwrite much of the cost of attending graduate school. In addition, students often use data from many of these projects for dissertations and presentations at professional meetings that may eventually be published in journals and elsewhere.

Doctoral Programs (Ph.D. & Ed.D)The Higher Education and Student Affairs Program (HESA) at Indiana University offers both an Ed.D. and Ph.D. degree program. Students interested in the HESA program at IU apply online through the School of Education at Indiana University. Each degree program has been designed with two separate student audiences in mind. The Ed.D. degree is a 60 credit hour post-masters degree program designed for doctoral students who are planning a career as a senior level college or university administrator. The Ph.D. degree is a 90 credit hour program designed for doctoral students who are planning careers as institutional researchers, policy analysts, and as faculty members in higher education programs. Master of Science (M.S.)The Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) Master’s Program at IU is consistently ranked as one of the best programs in the nation. Our program provides students with an experience that combines cutting edge research in the classroom with a hands-on experience in their graduate assistantship. In the last five years, placement of our graduates has been close to 100 percent, with almost all entering positions in student affairs. Many alumni, now in prominent positions in the field, are eager to hire IU graduates. The Indiana University Higher Education and Student Affairs (HESA) master’s program is designed for students to acquire the knowledge, skills, competencies, and philosophy required for exemplary professional practice in 21st century postsecondary educational institutions and other settings. Graduates of the HESA master’s program at IU will demonstrate a capacity for integrative learning and application that makes possible creative solutions to persistent and unanticipated problems that affect student and institutional performance.
