SPD is pleased to offer two courses in higher education administration for the fall 2009 term.

CEK 502 College Student Development Theory (SBLS)
This course examines the major theoretical constructs that inform practitioners who work with college students. Topics will include moral and ethical development, emotional maturation and identity formation, as well as the link between student persistence and involvement. Students will gain an understanding of psychosocial/affective, cognitive, typological and person/ environment interaction theories.

CEK 521 Diversity in Higher Education (SBLS)
This course examines diversity in institutions of higher education from both a theoretical and historical framework. It will provide a foundation for examining policy and practice by the study of key concepts in human diversity, legislation and case studies. Best practice assessment methods are explored within the context of multicultural pedagogy.

To enroll in these courses, you need to be a matriculated Stony Brook graduate student, or you need to complete a non-matriculating student application.
