Sociology 211F - Sociology of Higher Education

Institution:

Hamilton College

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the American higher education system, focusing on selective colleges and universities. We will begin with a brief examination of the history of American higher education. We will then consider how race/ethnicity, immigration, gender, and socioeconomic status shape college attainment and experiences in the contemporary period. We also will consider larger questions such as: Is college still "worth it?"? Is a degree from a "name brand" college worth more than one from a state or two-year college? What do-or should-students actually learn in college? (Same as Education Studies 211.) Elixabeth Lee.
