Program Description:

Master of Science degree focuses on the development, administration, and evaluation of student affairs programs in postsecondary institutions, and on the study of student development theory and its application as a basis for working with college students. Students gain practical experiences relating theory to practice in three required internships in student affairs offices at Florida State University and at another institution of the student's choice. Practical experiences gained through graduate assistantships, other part-time employment, and internships are an integral and important part of the master's program. This non-thesis degree requires 45 semester hours of graduate credit and takes two years (including one summer) to complete. Synthesis papers on each internship take the place of a comprehensive examination.
