The purpose of this course is to introduce you to frameworks, research, and methods of inquiry for understanding college environments as systems that shape learning and development. We will examine higher education settings, particularly in terms of mission, policies, culture, and structure. In this course, we consider the campus as a ?field of study? and ?learning laboratory? to understand how learning and knowledge production are shaped in and through the higher education environment. The goal is to enable you to investigate, analyze, assess, and strategize
