- Summary:
-
Patterns that emerged from reviewing 11 syllabi for courses on the community college are discussed, and three sample syllabi are presented. These courses are offered as part of graduate level studies in the field of higher education administration. The most commonly used course titles were "The Two-Year College" and "The Community Junior College." Subject emphases common to graduate course syllabi included: history and philosophy of the community college, social context, mission and goals, types of two-year colleges, organization and administration, governance, academic programs, special programs and services, instruction, student services, faculty and staff, students, instructional techniques, finance, facilities, and special problems and issues. Most syllabi reflect instructor efforts to provide a survey and overview of the two-year college in America through distributed readings, research papers, and bibliographic summaries. Unique directions for the future center on the application of concepts to practice, and analyses of issues and problems in the context of changing social and economic conditions through instructional techniques such as case studies, practitioner workshops, catalog analyses, college visitations, and simulation exercises. A list of primary works used as foundation and supplementary readings are identified. Sample syllabi are included from three institutions: Florida State University, University of Michigan, and University of North Carolina. A list of members of the course syllabi network is included.
