Overview

Through a blend of academic and practical learning, our students gain deep knowledge and understanding of higher education, and can become change agents at their institutions.

Higher education frequently changes, and the M.Ed. in Student Affairs in Higher Education at Kutztown University is designed to equip graduates with the tools they need to ensure the next generation of learners have a safe, equitable, and accessible campus.

What Makes KU’s Program Unique?

Higher Education Focus – The program was built from the ground up to focus on student affairs in higher education, not primary or secondary education. Students in the program will eventually seek employment at a community college, four-year college or university, or other higher education institution, and our instruction and coursework support these goals.
Graduate Assistantships – Over ninety percent of Student Affairs students receive a graduate assistantship in a Kutztown University office. Not only does this GA opportunity provide tuition reimbursement and a stipend, but it also serves as real-world experience in an administrative role.
Internships - Two internship opportunities are built into the curriculum of this program. Each allows students to explore the various aspects of how campuses operate and help them to discover where their passions and skillsets lie. The internships are separate from Graduate Assistant positions.
Networking Opportunities – The Student Affairs program is over 30 years, with an ever-expanding network of successful alumni. Along with the connections you will gain in your internship experiences, you’ll grow relationships with other students and professionals in the field of higher education.
