Admission to the Higher Education and Student Affairs graduate program is based on the candidate's academic potential, knowledge of higher education issues, exposure to student affairs, professional readiness, and commitment to the higher education and student affairs field.
The faculty assess the candidate's potential for successful completion of the degree program and ability to function effectively as a professional in a college and university setting. For applications and instructions, please click here.
Specific materials required for admission include:
A personal on-campus interview with a Higher Education and Student Affairs program faculty member is required for admission. Selected candidates will be invited to campus for one of two interview weekends in March. The interview dates for 2010 will be March 1-2 and March 16-17.
Over the years we have recognized that there is no linkage or correlation between student's Graduate Record Exam (GRE) scores and their ultimate success in the program. This anecdotal data affirms data collected national on alternative measures for assessing student success. Thus our program no longer requires the GRE*.
*Please note that the UVM HESA Program no longer requires GRE scores as part of the admissions process. However, all applicants seeking assistantship or university funding must submit GRE scores to The University of Vermont's Graduate College.
