HLA 540 Financial Plan/Mgmnt Higher Ed

Based on the irrefutable premise that effective financial planning and management will, in large part, drive the success of higher education institutions and facilitate an institution's adherence to its mission and the achievement of its strategic goals, this course is a vital component of leadership training for future higher education administrations and policy makers. All current and future leaders need a firm understanding of the broad range of issues that influence institutional financial health and shape critical success factors. As such, this required course will expose students to the breadth of financial issues at public and private colleges (with an emphasis on private, independent, not-for-profit institutions.)
