On the brink of graduating in Higher Education and Administration, I find it extremely important for the students in the program to understand the budget process as future administrators or leaders in their realm of higher education. I would like to create a course centered around Budgeting and Accounting for Higher Edcuation. The goal for this course is to understand more than just the surface level of budgeting and accounting in higher education and these two related subjects. The objectives will be the following:
- Analyze budget requests on a university-level and department-level looking at financial statements
- Setting up a budget for line items across the board
- Examine institutions data and trends nationally, regionally, and locally
- Understand how to process transactions and steps for budgeting in higher education
- Introduced to the history of funding higher education
Eric,
ReplyDeleteYour understanding of the importance of course objectives and learning outcomes tied to a sound plan will go a long way in helping you design your course. Your stated goal and your list of objectives will give you a solid framework around which to build your course.
Nice work,
Walter
I think the point about staying on course is a good one. I also like the objectives you've developed.
ReplyDeleteI bet it would be interesting to see what effect the introduction and growth of online education has on the budgets.
