Description

Explore the changing landscape of American higher education with The Community College and the Good Society. As the largest sector of the U.S. higher education network, community colleges serve a massive portion of the student population. This book provides a critical analysis of the internal shifts and external forces that have reshaped these institutions. Author Chad Hanson examines the transition from a focus on liberal arts to an emphasis on job training. By investigating what is lost when public institutions change their core mission, this work offers a deep look into the evolution of the two-year school. It is an essential read for those interested in how the shift in educational priorities affects the broader goals of a good society and the future of public learning.
