Leadership in Higher Education

Catalog description

This course builds upon the knowledge, skills and dispositions that students have acquired from their previous doctoral coursework and professional experiences to address authentic issues in higher education leadership. The approach is problem-based, context-bound and service-oriented. Through case studies, exercises and projects, students work individually and collaboratively to seek practical solutions to actual and hypothetical dilemmas in higher education. Emphasis is placed on analyzing and addressing the policy, legal and ethical aspects of issues, on seeking appropriate research paradigms, and on defining leadership roles to facilitate realistic and creative change.
