This three-semester hour course introduces
students to financial, economic, and budgetary
issues within Higher Education with particular
emphasis on student affairs. Students will review
the primary political, economic, and social issues
influencing higher education finance; examine
revenue streams and expenditure patterns; survey
tuition and financial aid policies; develop the
ability to examine and analyze financial
information; and assess the budget as an
instrument of strategic planning, resource
allocation, and control. This course is grounded
in literature, theories, and examples specific to
higher education. The goal for this class is to
provide students with the knowledge and abilities
that empower them to make appropriate decisions as
higher education leaders. Through assigned
readings, lectures, and webcast materials, and by
active course participation, including completion
of assigned activities, students will have the
opportunity to demonstrate their familiarity with
the following topics: financing higher education;
political influences; higher education revenue
sources and uses; and institutional budgeting and
planning.
