Budgets and Financial Management in Higher Education (Jossey-Bass Higher Adult Education)

Customer Reviews:

Useful for a graduate level class in higher ed budgeting and finance

By Scoob A. Diver - January 26, 2012

As a member of the faculty, I have now used this book twice as a main text for a master's level class in higher education leadership and budgeting. My students have found it well-written and useful in many areas of higher education finance. It is easy to read and well-organized. The concepts are covered in some depth - my only complaint is that it could go into more depth in some areas. Overall high student satisfaction with this text.

Factual and reliable

Boards, inevitably conservate, cringe and shake when a college drifts into finanacial problems. Their easy solutuion is to fire the president or a dean or two.

Ergo, all college administrators must become proficient in the dual topics of this book. If you didn't learn that in college, then pick up this book and prepare yourself.

Student Approved

By BG - October 6, 2012

This book has been assigned as part of a master's course in Organization and Administration. The book is accessible, accompanied by tables, and a quick read. Though it is difficult to understand budgeting without doing it, this book provides good overall insight into budgets and financial management in higher education.

In my opinion, it is also far less dry than other texts.
