The university next door : what is a comprehensive university, who does it educate, and can it survive?
Mark Schneider (Editor), K. C. Deane
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. 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? -- from back cover
