Develop the practical, applied knowledge needed to effect change in the higher education landscape.
Georgetown’s Master of Professional Studies in Higher Education Administration prepares you with the practical, applied knowledge needed to transition into roles of increasing responsibility within the field of higher education.
Through a blend of focused study and hands-on practice, you’ll develop a 360-degree perspective of the U.S. higher education landscape and the specialized expertise needed to effect change. You’ll also have opportunities to connect with some of the nation’s leading higher education experts and organizations through real-world client engagements and case studies.
Our program prepares you to navigate and lead across every corner of higher education—from academic affairs and admissions to operations, program management, and student affairs. You’ll also have the opportunity to specialize through one of three optional focus areas—student affairs, administration, or diversity, equity, and inclusion—or design a customized curriculum aligned with your career goals.
The rapidly changing environment of higher education demands professionals with applied knowledge and organizational agility. Our program combines intellectual rigor with new learning modalities to allow students to build a comprehensive and flexible course of study that will prepare them for careers in higher education.
