EDLE 743 - Organization and Management of Colleges and Universities

Credits: 3

Students will be exposed to critical competencies (attitudes, knowledge, skills) needed to create conditions for systematic and productive change, and to facilitate the process of introducing and sustaining innovation with maximum collaboration and minimum disruption. Also considered are various perspectives on how organizations function, and how individuals and groups within those settings can interact to achieve organizational goals for planned, purposeful change. This seminar will also allow students to explore and generate greater understanding of the culture of organization and administration in higher education. Students will also be exposed to literature that will allow them to identify and apply the appropriate organizational theories to different colleges and universities. After this course students will be able to unpack and understand the intricacies of colleges and universities as organizations and unique environments. We will also explore different conceptual and theoretical frameworks and view higher education through the lens of how these frameworks impact, support and hinder various institutional, culture, norms, and contexts.
