Special Topics in Higher Education: Strategic Management in Student Affairs This course will examine the structure and functions of student affairs programs and services from a general management perspective. Using systems theory as a conceptual and analytical framework, the course will examine student affairs from a holistic perspective and how major interrelated and interdependent functions may affect student programs and services. The role of strategic planning as an important management function will be emphasized as a process for adapting programs and services to the changes in the environment and in the needs of students. In addition, the course will review the interrelated management processes of program design, program implementation and program evaluation through the use of logic models. The course also will explore the dynamics of mental models and self-interests that create tension among individuals, departments, divisions and the university and that affect agreement about organizational goals and priorities. The course will emphasize theory-to-practice by using real world examples to illustrate and apply key concepts and by developing a realistic strategic plan for a division of student affairs.
