HED 650 Contextual Study in Higher Education

In this course students will assemble knowledge and work from both prior doctoral coursework and prior experience into a contextual study with foci on one or more of five contexts (institutional, programmatic, conceptual, theoretical, literature). The contextual study serves as a foundation for the dissertation or other major work and sets the stage for future contributions to the field, including the identification of further opportunities for specialized inquiry.
