Catalog description

Semester course; 3 seminar hours (delivered online, face-to-face or hybrid). 3 credits. Students will explore urban higher education through a social, historical and political lens. Students will develop an understanding of the ways education policy shapes the practice of education, particularly for institutions in international settings. Further, the course examines the relationship between schools and the global society in which they exist and examines the interplay of social systems within international contexts. Through a combination of field experiences and scholarly reflection, students will use inquiry and analysis to investigate the contributions of urban-serving and international institutions.
