HI ED 597A College Student Development (3) Administrative and teaching effectiveness in postsecondary educational settings is largely dependent upon one's familiarity with and appreciation for the unique developmental needs of students.

Exposure to student development theory is essential in the academic preparation of postsecondary administrations and faculty, as students unarguable should be the primary focus of current and future efforts in higher education. To this end, theories that have emerged from years of research on college students will be reviewed and discussed in this course, with the ultimate goal of inspiring class members to become more reflective and intentional facilitators of environments and experiences that offer healthy, constructive developmental opportunities.
