HEA 5110 - Higher Education Organization and Administration

An understanding of complex systems of organization and governance in higher education is critical to successful administration and leadership. This course is an introduction to administration and organizational dynamics. Although the roles of multiple internal and external constituencies will be considered, the class focuses on institution and system‐wide perspectives but will provide an overview of specific departments or functions. Theories of organizational leadership, culture, change and administrative management will be applied to case studies and individual and group projects. (4 credits)
