Description :
Course Number and Title : UNI198H1F Why Go to University? The Changing Role and Purpose of Higher Education
Course Description : Is higher education about job preparation or about giving students an opportunity to learn about themselves and the world around them?
Can higher education in Canada achieve both these aims? This course engages with the spirited conversations and scholarly debates about the ideals of a liberal arts education and how these connect with ancient and contemporary arguments about citizenship.
We explore the impact on higher education of globalization and what some call the corporatization of universities. Students will be encouraged to think, read, research and write about various models of higher education and explore questions suggested by these debates.
