Course Catalog Description
This course introduces students to the landscape of higher education and enables graduate students and postdocs to have the knowledge needed to apply for academic positions and make informed choices. We explore the history and structure of higher education in the U.S. and contemporary issues that shape the academic world. We compare different types of universities and colleges and examine institutional mission, forms of governance, faculty roles and responsibilities, stages of faculty life, current trends in higher education, and the academic job search process.
