Studemts will study learning and developmental factors as well as cultural, social and environmental factors that affect students’ academic achievement and their path to higher education.

HED 602 Research Design
This course is primarily designed to prepare doctoral students for the process of writing their research outlines and dissertation proposals. In addition, this course will allow students to gain the skills necessary to critically evaluate the design of published research in their respective areas of expertise. The target audience for this course is doctoral students in the Center for the Study of Higher Education who have completed introductory courses in qualitative and quantitative methods, and who are at or near the proposal stage of their doctoral programs. Master’s students (especially those who are electing the thesis option) and doctoral students from other departments are welcome at the discretion of the instructor.
 
HED 696c Values, Consciousness, and Professional Practice

This seminar introduces readings on issues concerning values, consciousness, and mindfulness in higher education. The course seeks to bring awareness to how our values shape our everyday lives as students, teachers, and leaders in the higher education context. The reading list has been carefully selected to introduce diverse ideas on spirituality and mindfulness and to invoke greater awareness of our professional values, purposes, activities, and goals, as well as our roles in our environments (i.e., programs, institutions, associations, etc.) Course readings and discussions will continue tie how values, consciousness, and mindfulness relate to leading problems in higher education, such as unequal patterns of access to education, financial shortfalls, professional stress and burnout, student difficulties, to name some.
