Product Description

The challenges public comprehensive universities face today are expanding - they have been challenged to enroll and graduate more students, adopt new technologies that lower cost without sacrificing quality, and align program and curricular offerings with the skills that employers require.While these universities have a long history of adapting to change, today’s environment will likely test the capabilities of even the most adaptive institutions.This volume assembles a team of experts from a variety of disciplines to examine both the history of the comprehensive university and what lies ahead.Overall, the book grapples with such questions as: How do these institutions adapt to serve the growing population of non-traditional students?How well do they prepare graduates for the labor market?Can partnerships between community colleges and comprehensive universities bolster student success?The University Next Door draws much-needed attention to a set of institutions that has historically received little notice, yet play an important role in meeting our new attainment goals and helping the American economy grow.
