HEDL 525 - Student Affairs

This course is an introduction to the historical and contemporary role of student affairs in higher education. We will explore major student development theories and how individual differences–such as gender, race, socio-economic status, and ability–impact student development. The changing demographics of the modern student body and its impact on student affairs will also be examined. Lastly, we will discuss the various roles and responsibilities of student affairs professionals and how to create developmentally appropriate programming for an increasingly diverse student population.
