Higher Ed Studio

1 or 3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This course will introduce students to the history and current discourse surrounding the decline in public trust in higher education, with particular emphasis on the role that higher education itself can play in shifting this trend. Students can also opt to enroll in either a 1-credit or 3-credit version of the course; the 3-credit version adds a significant studio component, whose focus would be to design and mount externally-facing dialogues, resulting in one or more published reports, on the future of higher education and the public trust.
