ECS 6642 - Impact of College on Students

This course provides a framework for assessing and improving the organizational structures and programs that promote student learning and engagement, especially in the early stages of college. The main objective of this course is to review and synthesize research on the influence of college on students and to introduce students to major theoretical models of college effects on student change. This course will look at key historic, malevolent, and contemporary benign institutional and student related encounters that affect the "integrating experience" for African-American and Latina/o college students.
