The MA in Educational Leadership with a concentration in Higher Education Leadership provides graduate students with the knowledge and skills needed to take on leadership positions with higher education organizations in student affairs, academic affairs, and college and university administration.  Montclair State University is currently the only public university in Northern NJ to offer this program, making it the most affordable option in the area for current and aspiring higher education professionals.

What makes this program unique is that it emphasizes leadership and administration across all functional areas of colleges and universities, as opposed to placing sole emphasis on student development and student affairs.  Our program does not limit a student to a particular field, but allows them to use their electives to investigate a variety of fields within Higher Education Leadership, and then complete a field experience in a specific functional area.

Students may apply to study on a full-time or part-time basis.  Several assistantships are available for full-time study.  Courses are offered in convenient formats for busy students, including evening, weekend and hybrid options.  Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, and a GRE waiver is available to those with an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or higher.
