Student affairs professionals work side-by-side with faculty and staff to create a dynamic learning environment for students. Every day, they help to shape the mission and culture of their college or university.
The Leadership in Student Affairs (LSA) program is a general preparation program to enter the field of student affairs. Our program specifically focuses on leadership within student affairs administration, offering specific coursework in student development theory, organizational theory, administrative leadership, social justice theories, as well as electives in higher education law, feminist perspectives on leadership, and more.
