Course Description

This course provides students the opportunity to learn about the establishment of the Land Grant University system and its impact on higher education and society. Students will learn about history and events that led to the passage of the Morrill Acts (1862, 1890) that established the Land Grant System and consider the influence of the Act on contemporary higher education institutions. Specific focus will be given to the tripartite Land Grant mission of teaching, research and extension, and its role in addressing the contemporary challenges facing higher education. Students will interact with leaders and influencers in higher education and have access to their insights regarding the future of the Land Grant University system.
