Higher Education, Student Affairs and International Education PolicyHESI

The Higher Education, Student Affairs, and International Education Policy program at the University of Maryland, College Park is committed to advancing the positive role education can have in society. Our faculty and students study core facets of the education system, including the functioning and impact of colleges and universities; the enactment and implementation of K-18 and nonformal education policies; and the analysis of organizational processes. With particular emphasis on social justice, diversity, policy, and system change, our students, alumni, and faculty are scholars, practitioners, change agents, and innovative leaders in universities, as well as in national and international organizations.

There are three concentrations in this academic program, each with its own distinct focus, faculty, and program plan. Students select from three concentrations: Higher Education, International Education Policy, and Student Affairs. However, during their course of study, students are able to choose electives from all concentrations to tailor their educational experiences to their interests and future career goals.
