Section Information for Fall 2016
This course is designed to provide opportunities to explore and generate greater understanding of the culture of organization and administration in higher education. In order to be effective leaders and members of an organization, it is important to understand colleges and universities as larger, complex systems. When viewing postsecondary education through an organizational analysis, a broader view is taken looking at the entire system internally and externally, not simply as divisions, departments, or functions. Organizational analysis emphasizes conceptual models and the way these can be overlaid on real institutional contexts and problems. This class will focus on leadership, change, and governance as key aspects of administration. This is a master and doctoral level seminar with an emphasis on reading, presentation, and discussion utilizing a case-study approach in a collegial and reciprocal learning environment. Students will be expected to attend class, be current with the issues facing higher education, and actively engage in course discussions.
