Business - General Business
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.
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.
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.
Colonial Higher Education, 1636-1784. In Chapter One, Thelin (2011)
described the influences of several topics and issues in higher education
during the Colonial era. Choose a historical, political, ethical and/or
economic issue under one of the following topics:
§ Governance and structure
§ College finances
§ Religion and the college
§ Philanthropy
§ The curriculum
§ 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.
Your paper should be two- to three- pages in length (not including the
title and reference pages) and written in APA format. Cite at least one
reference, in addition to the textbook. Remember to cite all references
using APA style.
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?
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?
Higher Education, 1785-1890. Your readings described the influences
of several topics about National Themes and Local Initiatives in Higher
education. Select one topic area from this list. Discuss how the historical
foundations of 1785 -1890 have influenced the shaping of today’s higher
education on this topic. Your paper should be two- to three- pages in
length (not including the title and reference pages) and written in APA
format. At a minimum, use one external source, in addition to the course
text. Remember to cite all references using APA style.
§ The Land Grant Legacy
§ Agricultural and Technical Education
§ Competition and Cooperation in Scientific and Technical education
§ Women and Higher Education
§ Normal Schools
§ Commerce in the Collegiate Curriculum
§ The Modern University
§ Liberal Arts Colleges
§ Student Life
§ Coeducation and Women

§ College and Administration: The Large Scale Roots of Philanthropy
§ Interregional Philanthropy and Black Colleges
§ The Comprehensive American University
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/greatamericanuni00slosrich) 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?
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.

Reflective Journal. 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.
Higher Education, 1880-1920. 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.
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?
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.
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.
Higher Education, 1920-1945. 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?
Your paper should be three- to four- pages in length (not including the
title and reference pages) and written in APA format. At a minimum, use

two external sources, in addition to the course textbook. Remember to
cite all references using APA style.
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.
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?
events of 1970-2000. Reflect on yourself as a graduate student who may
one day teach in higher education. How can you avoid some of the
mistakes faculty made from 1970-2000? What teaching approaches
and/or strategies worked? In addition, how do you feel higher education
will change in the next five years? Do you believe online learning will
increase? In terms of professional development and training, what do
you believe you need to do to effectively teach at the higher education
level today and in the near future?
of several topics about the challenges and issues in higher education
from 1970-2000. Discuss one topic that addresses the institutional,
societal, student, faculty, curriculum, governance or financial issues that
were significantly impacted from 1970 -2000. After viewing Dr. Hannah

Holborn Grey’s presentation, Uses (and Misuses) of the University
Today (http://www.youtube.com/watch?&), incorporate one of her
suggested uses and one of her noted misuses of the university today in
your paper. Explain how the historical foundations of 1970-2000 have
influenced the shaping of higher education on this topic. Your paper
should be two- to three- pages in length (not including the title and
reference pages) and written in APA format. At a minimum, use two
external sources, in addition to the course text. Remember to cite all
references using APA style.
Reconfiguring American Higher Education in the Twenty-first
Century. Using ProQuest, locate two articles about the emergence of
global universities (online education). Provide a summary of your
articles and the reference links. Discuss the critical findings related to
two of any of the following topics:
a. Demographics and student diversity
b. Availability and access
c. Variability of disciplines
Analyze if the research supports your perspective. Why or why not.
Higher Education, 2000-Present
In this course, we have examined various topics about the
reconfiguration of American Higher Education from 1673 to the present.
After watching the short video Complex Change in Higher Education by
Fred Buining (http://www.youtube.com/watch?), reflect on various
changes that have influenced the reconfiguration of American higher
education in the 21st century. Reflect on the topics listed below and
select two that you feel have made the greatest impact on higher
education. Critically analyze the influences of past eras on present-day
higher education. Evaluate how these topics are impacting higher
education today. Discuss recommendations for change. For this

assignment, feel free to be creative. You can write an essay, create a
video, website, timeline (similar to week three), etc. Whatever you
choose to create, provide access to your instructor by uploading all the
necessary files, and provide all necessary links and/or text in a document.
Additionally, be sure to cite your resources as necessary, and include a
separate reference page in APA format as outlined in the Ashford
Writing Center. Your essays, timelines and/or websites should be ten- to
twelve- pages in length (not including the title and reference pages) and
written in APA format. At a minimum, use five external sources, in
addition to the course text. If you create a video, it should be about
eight- to ten- minutes in length. All appropriate APA references should
be noted in the video.
a. The Past as Prologue: From 1900 to 2010
b. Higher Education’s Unfinished Business from 1990 -2010

reconfiguration of American Higher Education from 1673 to the present.
After watching the short video Complex Change in Higher Education by
Fred Buining (http://www.youtube.com/watch?), reflect on various
changes that have influenced the reconfiguration of American higher
education in the 21st century. Reflect on the topics listed below and
select two that you feel have made the greatest impact on higher
education. Critically analyze the influences of past eras on present-day
higher education. Evaluate how these topics are impacting higher
education today. Discuss recommendations for change. For this
assignment, feel free to be creative. You can write an essay, create a
video, website, timeline (similar to week three), etc. Whatever you
choose to create, provide access to your instructor by uploading all the
necessary files, and provide all necessary links and/or text in a document.
