§ Student diversity and experimentation
§ The limits of instructional purpose and educational
mission
Describe and provide examples for the topic you
selected and how it influenced higher education during
the Colonial era. In addition, please include how the
same topic influences higher education today. Consider
current and different perspectives on this topic today.
Moreover, include and answer the following questions:
a. Describe the most important factors of this issue both
past and present.
b. Examine some of the complexities of this issue both
past and present.
c. Evaluate some of the challenges of this issue that you
feel need to be addressed today.

ASH/EDU-657-Week-1-DQ-1-Colleges-in-the-
Colonial-Era
EDU 657 Week 1 DQ 1 Colleges in the Colonial Era
In Chapter One, Thelin (2011) mentioned nine surviving
colleges founded before 1781: Harvard, William and
Mary, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth,
Rutgers, and Pennsylvania. Many feel that these colleges
stand out as quality higher education institutions that
have acquired prestige and longevity. Do you agree with
these viewpoints? Consider how these colleges
influenced perceptions of higher education today. What
about the quality of education then and online learning

now? Relate how these trends and events still impact
higher education today.

ASH EDU 657 Week 1 DQ 2 Colonial Revival Colleges
ASH/EDU-657-Week-1-DQ-2-Colonial-Revival-
Colleges
EDU 657 Week 1 DQ 2 Colonial Revival Colleges
Thelin (2011) noted that the English universities Oxford
and Cambridge greatly influenced early American
higher education. In addition, Oxford and Cambridge
were autonomous, privately endowed and linked to a
federation. The “collegiate system” of combining
learning and living was a seminal plan for higher
education that college founders tried to capture for the
American colonies. Discuss the various ways in which
early American Colonial colleges did "not" emulate or
resisted replicating the Oxford-Cambridge ideal.
Describe the reasons for these changes and what the

change agents were. Consider important factors such as
college funding, curriculum, religion, architecture and
the student population .What is your opinion about the
changes? Do you feel that the established political
powers should have taken a different direction or kept
some of the key elements of the Oxford-Cambridge
ideal? Explain why or why not.

ASH EDU 657 Week 1 Reflective Journal
ASH/EDU-657-Week-1-Reflective-Journal
Critically reflect on the personal impact of the
foundations of education. Reflect on a time when you
studied about the history of the Colonial Era in grade
school, middle school, high school or college. What
surprised you to discover about higher education during
the Colonial era? Have your perceptions changed as a
result of examining a few of the historical, political,
ethical and/or economic foundations of higher
education during this timeframe? How has this
knowledge impacted your perceptions and experiences

about higher education? Summarize how this
information will change your teaching.

ASH EDU 657 Week 2 DQ 1 Creating the American Way
ASH/EDU-657-Week-2-DQ-1-Creating-the-

EDU 657 Week 2 DQ 1 Creating the American Way
Medical schools during this time represented a good
example of American society’s enchantment for
education without the overly strict rules and standards.
Reflect on the role of Medical Colleges in higher
education during the first half of the nineteenth century.
Consider the educational preparation and requirements
for medical doctors during this era. How do you feel that
differs today?

What influences are still impacting higher education
today with regards to new educational programs and
innovations? Consider the role that government
regulation and accountability plays in higher education.
How do you feel America’s approach to higher education
building might change in the next 5- 10 years?

EDU 657 Week 2 DQ 2 Resilience in American Higher
Education
Large scale philanthropy contributors who offered
substantial gifts such as foundations, trusts, and estates
were necessary to higher education budgets in order to
pay for salaries, services and the construction of new
buildings. The transformation of philanthropy in
American higher education was the coming together of
industry and religion in what was termed the
“Protestant work ethic.” Discuss why this was important
to wealthy entrepreneurs.

From your readings, what challenges do current higher
education institutions face with regards to funding?
What are some of the possible solutions to these
challenges? Do you believe it is still important today? Do
you believe this work ethic perspective has changed in
higher education today?

657-Week-3-DQ-1-Captains-of-Industry
EDU 657 Week 3 DQ 1 Captains of Industry
The wealth and energy between 1880 and 1910 was a
unique and dynamic period in higher education. During
this time the stock market was volatile and the rules
that governed higher education were mostly absent. In
addition, there was an abundance of industrial wealth,
and a new level of philanthropic generosity toward
higher education. Uncertainty and diversity were
characteristics of this time period.
Discuss the dynamics of university-building in the
formative decades between 1880 and 1910. Reflect on

the actions and influences of Slossen’s book Great
American Universities
(http://www.archive.org/details/greatamericanuni00sl
osrich) and the Association of American Universities.
What were some of the historical, political and economic
reasons that these associations had so much influence?
From your own personal experiences, are there similar
associations in higher education today?

EDU 657 Week 3 DQ 2 America Goes to College
The age of university-building was also the golden age of
the college. Attending college was popular and
fashionable during 1890 through 1920. Obtaining a
bachelor’s degree was a way for newly affluent families
to enhance their social position.
Summarize the concept of the “Collegiate Ideal” during
1890 -1920. Consider how the “college man” and/or
“college woman” was becoming an imposing figure in
American higher education at the end of the nineteenth
century. How did this collegiate ideal help the
undergraduate college population increase? Analyze the

political, cultural and economic factors that were
beneficial and challenging to the stakeholders at higher
education institutions.

For this assignment you will explore several topics
about the Age of University Building and the “Golden
Age” of colleges. Using the free website Timeglider
(http://www.timeglider.com/) or Microsoft Word
(http://www.microsoft.com/education/en-
us/teachers/how-to/Pages/creating-timeline.aspx),
create a timeline of five or more significant events
and/or topics that you find interesting and that
influenced higher education from 1880 - 1920. Feel free
to be creative with this assignment. You may include
pictures, diagrams and words. In addition please

provide a brief summary for each of your significant
event and topics. Chapters Four and Five provide several
different topics and events to choose from. For example,
one significant event could include the Quest for the
Great American University. It was an event when 14
university presidents from institutions such as Harvard,
Cornell, and Johns Hopkins met to form the Association
of American Universities. Another significant event
during this time frame was philanthropy on a large
scale. This was significant because it was the first time
universities had a permanent financial base. A few
topics you may want to explore are:
§ Intercollegiate Sports
§ Women’s Colleges
§ Women and Coeducation
§ The “Collegiate Ideal” and Black Colleges
§ World War I and the Colleges
Provide access to your instructor by uploading all the
necessary files and providing all necessary links.
Additionally, be sure to cite your sources as necessary,
and include a separate reference page in APA format as
outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

Critically reflect on the impact of topics, trends, and
events of historical eras on higher education and the
dynamics surrounding the university-builders in the
formative decades between 1880 -1920. Think about
what it would have been like to be a college student
during this time. Then reflect on the time when you first
enrolled in your graduate program. What was your
experience? Where you excited about the prospects of
one day teaching at the higher education level? What is
the subject you would most likely enjoy teaching? Do
you think you could have taught the same subject during
1880 -1920? Knowing a little more about the history of

higher education, have your perceptions changed about
higher education in general.

EDU 657 Week 4 DQ 1 Success and Excess
Thelin (2011) mentioned that from World War I to
World War II, university and college enrollments
increased dramatically. However, the retention of
students presented a challenge during this time period.
College administrators had some difficulty managing
students because of the expanded number of students
being enrolled. Discuss the role and responsibilities of
faculty members during this time. How have these roles
and responsibilities changed today? How have these
stayed the same? Do you think that college
administrators and faculty members did the best they

could to retain their students? Why or why not? What
could they have done better?

EDU 657 Week 4 DQ 2 Cost of College, 1920-1945
Summarize the changes in the price of going to college
from 1920-1945. Consider student employment
opportunities and positive influences of the various
relief work programs such as the public work projects
during this time. How did colleges and universities
benefit from them? Do you feel that a similar type of
public work project(s) could work today? Why or why
not? What are some options that students have today to
pay for college? Give your perspectives on how college
education could be funded.

From 1920-1945, there was significant expansion and
reforms in higher education. Reflect upon the
opportunities to attend college for women during this
time period. Women made up about 40% of the
undergraduate enrollments in 1940. This was
remarkable considering that women were not permitted
to earn a bachelor’s degree just 60 years prior to 1940.
Also of significance were the women’s colleges of the
privileged elite such as Wellesley, Radcliffe, Smith,
Vassar, and Barnard to name a few. Examine colleges for
women during this time period and compare them to

your educational experiences today. Consider the
following questions:
a. In what ways did women college students in this era
(1920-1945) influence the current generation of women
college students?
b. What factors, conditions, and values influence
present-day women to enroll in women's colleges?
Discuss each one.
c. What factors, conditions, and values influence
present-day women to enroll in coeducational colleges?
Discuss each one.
d. If you were an employer, what would you see as the
advantages and disadvantages of a female graduate
from a women's college? Discuss each one.
e. Have your perceptions changed last 5 -10 years about
your own potential prospects for academic and
professional advancement?

events of 1920-1945. Have you met or do you know of
anyone who taught during this time? If so, what do they
say about the advantages and disadvantages of teaching
during this time period? As a future higher education
educator do you feel that your opportunities have
increased as compared to what you read about
opportunities for faculty from 1920 -1945? What did
faculty do as far as furthering their careers with regards
to scholarship and teaching? What do you plan to do to
further your career with regards to scholarship and
teaching? Do you look forward to publishing? Do you

have a particular workshops or training in mind? Write
a book? Share your thoughts.

EDU 657 Week 5 DQ 1 Gilt by Association
From 1945-1970, a new set of problems helped to
transform higher education. After 1949 there was an
explosion of enrollments due to governmental agencies
that recognized that higher education had been proven
effective, even during the war. This led them to create
public policies at both the state and federal level.
Describe the “Golden Age” in American higher
education. Analyze the impact of demographics and
funding on higher education.

Why did the GI Bill gain so much momentum? What are
its benefits and drawbacks? How is it influential today?

EDU 657 Week 5 DQ 2 Coming of Age in America
From 1970 -2000, most higher education institutions
encountered various challenges and issues. Although
higher education made an effective transition to mass
education access, it was more difficult to transition to
universal education access. In addition, because of the
diversity of students who were entering college higher
education, higher education institutions required
tailoring. Discuss the impact of topics, trends, and
events of 1970-2000 era on higher education. Explain
the components that contributed to the “Coming of Age”
in American higher education. What were the main
issues during this time period? Do you feel that higher

education institutions solved most of the issues of 1970 -
2000? Why or why not?
