ELP 7545 - Higher Education Administration

Leaders in administrative positions in U.S. colleges and universities engage concepts and models from organizational theory, campus culture, and public policy to meet societal expectations for higher education. The purpose of this course is to explore theoretical concepts across these four areas (organizational theory, culture, policy, and leadership) to understand meaning and application for patterns, processes and problems in the 21st century higher education organization. Through engagement with case studies and leaders in higher education, students will focus on the connections between theory and practice within the governance of an institution.
