Where is higher education as a field of study going in this
century? How will higher education programme leaders design and
sustain their degree programmes' vitality in the face of perennial
challenges from inside and outside the academy? While in 1979 the
Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS)
defined standards for student affairs master's level preparation,
and while 2010 saw the adoption of guidelines for higher education
administration and leadership preparation programmes at the
master's degree level, there still are, however, no guidelines that
address higher education leadership doctoral programmes, despite
increasing demands for assessment and evaluation. This book
suggests that higher education administration doctoral degree
guidelines are a critical next step in advancing their programme
quality and continuity. It offers a review of the field's history,
the condition of its higher education programmes, developments from
the student affairs specialisation and its guidelines, and a
multi-chapter dialogue on the benefits or disadvantages of having
guidelines. At a time of urgency to prepare the next generation of
higher education faculty and leaders, this book sets out the
parameters for the debate about what the guidelines should cover to
ensure the appropriate and effective preparation of students. It
also offers a useful framework for enriching the knowledge of
deans, chairs, programme coordinators and faculty who are engaged
in programme design, assessment, and revision. It will also be of
interest to policymakers, the personnel of accrediting agencies,
and not least graduate students within higher education preparation
programmes. All the contributors to this volume have the exemplary
expertise, leadership experience, and a close association with
higher education guidelines and standards, and have extensively
contributed to the literature on higher education.
Higher Education is a vibrant, changing field of study. With roots
in multiple disciplines, these degree programs prepare the
administrators, faculty, and policy makers who direct the current
and future higher education enterprise. At a time when higher
education is changing rapidly, these programs are poised to frame
the future of an educated society. This book examines all aspects
of how Higher Education programs operate - from their marketing,
focus on student affairs and community colleges, the emergence of
online programs and core curricula. Authors from a broad and
diverse spectrum of institutions map the current setting of Higher
Education programs with an eye on future directions for their
livelihood and survival.
