Course Description
This course will offer an historical, philosophical, cultural and organizational overview of Catholic higher education, a survey of current scholarship and related Church documents, and an examination of the role of Catholic higher education, particularly in the U.S., and its relationship with the Church, contemporary academic culture and the broader society. This course will also engage students in an analysis of contemporary issues facing Catholic higher education particularly, faith and reason, the Catholic intellectual tradition, Catholic social thought, governance and leadership models, student development, and assessment of institutional mission, identity, and culture.
Course Requirements
1. Three (3) research-‐based group project/presentations and one (1) five-‐page individual topical paper. Each project and paper will require evidence derived from course readings, presentations and discussions. Project presentations will be due:
Presentation #1 February 11 (20%) Presentation #2 March 18 (20%)
Presentation #3 April 29 (20%)
Five-‐page topical paper (20%): Each student will be assigned to outline and introduce key ideas from the readings and resources for one assigned class discussion during the semester. Each student will also select and share one additional resource not listed as an assigned reading for that particular class. In preparation for this assignment, each student will meet with the instructor two weeks prior to the assigned class. The five page summary will include: key themes; discussion questions; and a description of the relevance of your selected additional reading resource. The summary paper will be provided to the
instructor electronically via Canvas one week prior to the assigned class. The instructor will make available the summary paper to the rest of the class as they prepare for that particular week’s reading and discussion.
Participation in class discussions (20%). This course is designed to engage students in analyses of a variety of salient issues in Catholic higher education. The format for this class is interactive-‐lecture. You will be engaged throughout each class session, asking for your comments, critique, and analysis of the issues. Having prepared the readings prior to class ensures your productive class participation. Prior to each class session an outline,
discussion questions and an occasional short-‐assignment will be available.
Alternate Assignment: doctoral students may choose the option of completing a major research project relevant to current research or a dissertation topic in the student’s specific field or discipline informed by the course themes and materials (i.e., literature review or journal article). This assignment requires evidence of sustained work throughout the semester, two consultation sessions with the instructor and a presentation to the class. A proposal for the project must be submitted to the instructor for review and approval by January 28. This work accounts for 60% of the class grade and is due April 29. In
addition to the approved research project, the final grade in the course will be based on the five-‐page topical paper (20%) and class participation (20%).

Catholic College/University Strategic Plan & Case Statement Group Presentation #3
You return to the group of venture capitalists to act as consultants to establish a new Catholic college or university. Your task is to prepare a Case Statement for prospective
constituents, supporters, and donors. This part of the case statement should include the following elements:
1. A detailed strategic plan including an outcomes assessment for one of the following assigned institutional areas:
a) Trustees – Business and Finance
b) President’s Cabinet – Governance and Administration c) Academic Affairs and Intellectual Culture
d) Student Development and Campus Culture
2. Make your case for the new Catholic college/university. Support your case with references to relevant Church documents, statements, historical, philosophical, and theological reasoning as well as compelling current scholarship and
research on Catholic higher education (APA format for references). Identify a minimum of five references from our readings or other relevant sources. Your work on Projects #1 and #2 regarding trends, challenges, opportunities and strategic initiatives may be referenced for this assignment.
Here are a few suggested approaches:
a. Let potential donors know how their support affects the future of Catholic higher education and its mission. Provide evidence of the success and challenges of Catholic higher education historically and show how your proposed college will make a distinct contribution into the future.
b. A local college/university should spell out how it fits into the
community. A national college/university should emphasize how its work affects the broader society and culture in the United States. An international college/university should indicate how supporting its work ensures a contribution to the common good on a global scale. c. Create a sense of excitement about the distinct contribution of your
college. Use short sentences and paragraphs. Highlight important information with bullets and in boxes. Make your dedication to the
purpose and mission of your college shine through every sentence of your case statement.
The format for this assignment is a presentation (maximum 20 minute presentation) with accompanying resource materials (i.e., hand-‐out materials and media support). A minimum of five references from our readings, suggested readings and on-‐line references in the syllabus must be sighted in both formats.
