EDU A730C

Course Information

Description

This course explores critical issues in the field of international postsecondary education coalescing around a few essential questions every country around the globe must answer in their own ways: Who should attend? How can quality be ensured? How can postsecondary education be financed? What role does equity play? Responses to each of these questions are predicated upon how a country defines and understands the purposes of postsecondary education. Students will also become familiar with some of the most influential organizations that help inform and shape international postsecondary education.

This course is limited to students who are in the Higher Education Concentration and the Global, International, and Comparative Education Concentration. This course fulfills the elective requirement of the Equity & Opportunity Foundations experience.
