Research and Scholarly Interests

My research is centered around advancing understanding of college and university curricula – including teaching and learning experiences of people involved in undergraduate and graduate education. More specifically, my research has addressed program quality, curriculum trends and innovations, liberal and general education, curriculum design, program review and evaluation, academic change, and diversity in higher education.
