Description:

Develop your career through advanced graduate-level studies at Laurier’s Faculty of Education.

The student affairs field (Waterloo) allows candidates to focus their master’s-level studies in student affairs and services and provides candidates with the requisite skills and knowledge to assume diverse roles within student affairs and services at higher-education institutions.

The student affairs field explores a cross section of student affairs services (e.g. academic support and services; academic advising; student life; residence education; wellness and recreation; and work, leadership, and volunteering) that impact the quality of students’ postsecondary experiences. The student affairs focus is appropriate for current student affairs professionals or those seeking a career in student affairs and services in postsecondary institutions.
