Higher Education is a vibrant, changing field of study. With roots in multiple disciplines, these degree programs
prepare the administrators, faculty, and policy makers who direct the current and future higher education enterprise.
At a time when higher education is changing rapidly, these programs are poised to frame the future of an educated
society.
This book examines all aspects of how Higher Education programs operate - from their marketing, focus on student affairs and community colleges, the
emergence of online programs and core curricula. Authors from a broad and diverse spectrum of institutions map the current setting of Higher Education
programs with an eye on future directions for their livelihood and survival.
