Academic and Student Affairs Organizations

Examine the organization, administration and policies associated with secondary institutions in the United States. Explore higher education through an organizational lens, looking at the university as an integrated and complex system, rather than as mutually exclusive divisions, departments or functions. By applying organizational theory, learn how institutions make decisions, develop policy and interact with their environment. Analyze the impact of student affairs/student services, and its partnership to the academic community in advancing the academic mission to serve students.
