HEA Mission

The mission of the GW Higher Education Administration (HEA) Program is to prepare exceptional leaders for administrative, academic and research positions in two- and four-year higher education institutions, national and international associations, government agencies, and other post-secondary educational settings. From Master's to Doctoral degrees, the Higher Education Administration Program has a strong tradition of preparing engaged leaders ready to meet tomorrow's challenges in higher and post-secondary education. Program graduates rise rapidly within administrative and scholarly ranks based on their knowledge, skills, experiences, and research expertise developed while involved in the Program’s community of scholar-practitioners centered in the nation’s capital.
