Comparative Higher Education

Travel to England’s pinnacles of higher education to see how the British university system differs between institutions. You’ll visit colleges in London, Oxford, and Cambridge to analyze their higher education methods and also contrast them with the US system. The course, led by UM faculty member Dr. KB Melear, is open to graduate students in higher education. Students will receive 3 hours of credit for EDLD 657.
