APS 375 - Contemporary Issues in Higher Education
Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
A comprehensive study of current issues facing higher education leading to an analysis of its current strengths and weaknesses and projections of where the enterprise is likely headed. Employing an inherently eclectic approach with widely ranging foci (e.g., funding and cost, calls for increased accountability, assessment, evolving governmental and other external forms of oversight, enrollment trends, access, new missions and institutional types responsive to new challenges, the status of the professoriate, new modalities of instruction, societal expectations, strategic planning, etc.), the course aspires to a coherent understanding and critique of the overall viability of current higher education, thus equipping its employees and practitioners with the insights and means to advance its positive agenda and to participate knowledgeably and constructively in emergent reform initiatives.
Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
Cannot be taken on a Pass/Fail basis. (Formerly FDED 285A, Special Topics: Contemporary Issues in Higher Education.)
