The Evolving Global Landscape

0.5 Course Units

Higher education, while a national (or local) responsibility, is shaped by global forces – economic, social, political and technological. This course focuses on the trends in globalization and the ways in which those forces impact universities positively and negatively. It addresses globalization and its discontents; the disruption and innovation that globalization creates and reinforces, and the ways in which global forces make universities more, rather than less, important in the global dialogue of human development. 0.5 Course Units
