PROGRAM STATEMENT
Student development theory. Administrative theory. Faith in higher education. Welcome to the only master's program in higher education and student affairs from a national research university that incorporates all three into the curriculum.
The Master of Science in Higher Education & Student Affairs (HESA) program at Baylor University distinctively balances career experience and academic rigor to prepare professionals who desire to have a meaningful, lasting influence on students' lives in higher education settings.
Our program is uniquely balanced between professional experience and academic rigor. Students entering our program can expect to be professionally challenged through their apprenticeships and academically challenged throughout the 22-month course sequence. Our program is built on a cohort model that provides support, camaraderie, and debate as students come together from across the nation, representing a great diversity of regional and cultural worldviews. Students selected to attend Baylor's program are provided a complete tuition scholarship and a graduate apprentice position with a competitive stipend.
If you are a prospective student, we hope you will be compelled by our vision and will join us in our calling to change the world for the better...one student at a time. Higher education needs leaders who are thoughtful, reflective, and capable of creating meaningful change. We hope you will join us in that quest.
