专业概况
在这里学什么?The Master of Arts in educational leadership degree is based on a performance-driven leadership model in which students actively participate in a variety of activities designed to prepare them for the challenges faced by today's educational organizations.
Higher education and student affairs leadership
The higher education and student affairs (HESA) concentration in the Master of Arts in educational leadership in the Department of Educational Leadership, Research and Technology at Western Michigan University focuses on developing reflective practitioners for entry and mid-level positions in higher education. The program emphasizes a practitioner-scholar model to combine a broad-based student development and leadership theory core with required individualized field experiences. Distinctive to higher education and student affairs is an emphasis on the centrality of diversity and inclusiveness in higher education. One of the ways this is actualized is through a required and individually designed diversity cognate. The higher education and student affairs (HESA) curriculum meets CAS standards for masters-level student affairs preparation programs. Students also develop professional competency areas for student affairs practitioners through the 39-credit hour coursework including two distinct, site-based field experiences and completion of the performance-driven leadership portfolio. The higher education and student affairs program promotes innovative learning, discovery and service through our emphasis on professional development, engagement in scholarly practice and research, and an emphasis on leadership in the profession.
