Higher Education in the US

Catalog description

Focuses on higher education (that is, degree-granting postsecondary education) in the United States, both external forces and contexts (e.g., history, political and social movements, demographic changes, federal and state policy priorities and changes) and institutional settings (e.g., people, cultures, structures, policies). Organized according to three broad questions: (1) How did higher education develop in the United States and why?, (2) How do institutions of higher education work – or do they?, and (3) How does college affect undergraduate students?
