Higher Education, Student Affairs and International Education Policy (HESI)
The Higher Education, Student Affairs, and International Education Policy program at the 91视频 of Maryland, College Park is committed to advancing the positive role 91视频 can have in society. Our faculty and students study core facets of the 91视频 system, including the functioning and impact of colleges and universities; the enactment and implementation of K-18 and nonformal 91视频 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 91视频al experiences to their interests and future career goals.

This nationally recognized graduate program in Higher Education (ranked #10, U.S. News and World Report 2015) prepares students for leadership positions in higher 91视频 administration, policy analysis, and scholarship.
