Resource Allocation and Deployment

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

This course covers resource allocation issues for lower and higher education, public and private education, and United States and overseas education. "Resource," in this context principally, but not exclusively, refers to financial resource. The purpose of this course is to introduce participants to the means by which answers can be framed for questions such as: Who pays for education? Who goes to school, and who benefits from schooling? How much does education cost? How can resources be used to influence the trajectory of an organization? And how can resources for education be spent more efficiently? Additionally, the course is intended to enable participants to gain and enhance analytic and information gathering skills related to education finance and resource allocation. [3]
