SOC 295-04 - Special Topic: The Sociology of Higher Education

4 credits (Spring)
Why do consistent, differential education and economic outcomes exist in American society, and what role does higher education play as a change agent, equalizer, and/or reproducer of society’s inequalities? Students will explore theoretical and practical perspectives on social, scientific, economic, and political forces that shape approaches to higher education and its reform. Collaborating in research pods, students will conduct inquiry-based, action-oriented projects of their own design. 

Prerequisite: SOC 111
