How Colleges Work

Introduction to the organizational dynamics of colleges and universities. Beginning with a review of organizational theory, students will review the various types of college structures (universities, four-year colleges, community colleges, for profit colleges.) Students will study key functional areas: finance; enrollment management; academic affairs; student services and explore how these areas are affected by governance and managerial approaches. Assignments will include case studies that present examples of strategic planning and management challenges.
