  1. Thank you two for the advice! cpwonders - Thanks for the tip on UW - I'll research more about their program! I have looked into USC but there's no solid answer on their funding. Their website estimates $70k+ to attend their program for 2 years which deterred me from looking more into the program. Do you know anything about their funding or actual cost? so_it_goes - My current position is a one year appointment (probably renewable) but there's not much room to learn more unless I move offices. Many of positions that would give me different experience than undergrad "prefer" a Master's degree - most of the positions are filled by those who do. I plan to apply and see what happens, but having that graduate degree seems to help more -at least at the 2 schools I have experience at. Unforunately the closest degree they have is a counseling degree with only 2 classes dedicated toward college students, nothing toward Higher Ed administration or Student Affairs. Personally I don't think it would be a good route, but maybe others could expand on how it might help to stay where I am and pursue that degree?
  2. Hello all! I graduated last May with a BS in Psychology. I have been working for a year at a state university as a Program Assistant in the First Year advising office. Before graduating, I had several leadership positions in Student Government and other student activities organizations, as well as leadership roles and employment with admissions and orientation. Now that I have been able to work to start generating some income (to put toward loans...), I am looking to apply to grad school for Higher Ed Admin/Student Affairs. Ideally I would like to work more toward administration within student affairs, hopefully working to improve departments and programs that serve students. I would like to work in DC area after getting my Master's degree (also considering MD/VA, maybe NC). I'm pretty open to going anywhere, but prefer east coast. However, if the funding package is right and the program is a good fit, I'll go anywhere. I am really interested in applying to UPenn, Michigan, Northwestern, Columbia, and UVa (but they don't provide funding... ). I am also VERY interested in HGSE but from what I can tell, there is also no funding... if there are any HGSE students who can advise on how they afford the education, please let me know! If there's any advice on some other schools to check out - I would like to know as well!
