Contemporary Issues

1 Course Unit

By introducing the key issues confronting (primarily American) higher education, this course will encourage students to develop the capacity to identify, summarize and critique arguments and perspectives on these issues. Students will think concretely about the key research questions that need to be asked and answered to move these issues forward, and will begin to develop an appreciation for the kinds of data that are available to describe and analyze these issues.
