EDAD.5245 Impact of College on Students
The purpose of this course is to provide an opportunity for in-depth exploration of scholarship on college students (ranging from undergraduates through graduates); theories related to the development of college students; and the impact of college on students (ranging from community colleges to 4-yr public and private institutions of higher education). Through reading, discussion, reflection and research, students will co-construct knowledge and increased understanding of the complexities of student development and the application of these theories in post-secondary education. Specific attention will be given to considering how sex, gender, racial-ethnic heritage, sexual orientation, age, ability/disability, and social class contribute to the identity development of college students.
