EDLE 745 - Competitive Context of Higher Education

Credits: 3

The context of higher education is an increasingly complex and increasingly competitive environment. This seminar discusses the contemporary and future roles of enrollment management, the nature and scope of institutions in higher education, and constituency engagement. This seminar will also explore the competitive context, current practices, policies, and conditions that have, and continue to shape access to colleges and universities at the undergraduate level. This course is rooted in a philosophical approach to understanding conditions of access to higher education. This seminar will also provide an opportunity for students to discuss and unpack current research surrounding social stratification, educational quality, and how k-12 preparation, and cost impacts access. Students will also be prepared to unpack the following questions:

How do we go about preparing our youth to enter higher education?
What should be the purposes of a public education, and educating a country’s citizenry
Is access to higher education a public good, and how is this public good defined?
