Overview

On the Higher Education and Student Affairs program at University of Connecticut students complete the core academic classes over their two- or three-year plan of study. In addition, students have a variety of elective graduate courses that are offered through the Neag School of Education or the University.

Key facts

All full-time students who are on the two-year plan of study, are encouraged to hold graduate assistantships to provide the professional and practical experience that allows students to apply theory to practice.

We also welcome students who currently work full-time in a higher education and student affairs or aligned role and who wish to further their education with a master's degree.
