EPS 538 Globalization of Higher Education
Monday, 6:00- 8:00
Richard Herman and Allison Witt
This course examines the implications of globalization to the rapidly changing face of Higher Education around the world. Through the use of case studies, we will examine how globalization has resulted in new policies in Higher Education at regional, national and local levels. We will consider the impacts on social mobility, accountability, and financial sustainability, due in part to rapid changes in the global economy. Issues of access and equity; privatization and for-profit institutions; curricular responses to the changing realities of knowledge and knowledge production; and of internationalization will be considered within these changing contexts.
