Abstract
Student affairs is an accidental profession since undergraduate students tend to discover career opportunities in student affairs late in their college career (Taub & McEwen, 2006). Student affairs professionals are not invited to high school career day, famous, or hold an important place in pop culture. Students do not major in higher education or student affairs as an undergraduate, but eventually, discover professional opportunities through their college experience and involvement. For most, graduate school is their first opportunity to explore the various functional areas this profession has to offer. However, it remains to be seen if we are adequately training these professional students, so they are graduating with the competencies necessary for the job market. The purpose of this study was to determine what competencies are required for entry-level, student affairs employment. This was a replication study that analyzed entry-level job postings from The Placement Exchange (TPE).
