Description

The Community College and the Good Society examines how America's largest higher education sector has shifted its focus from liberal arts to job training. This Routledge publication critically analyses the internal changes and external forces that have reshaped two-year colleges since 2005, when 40 percent of newly enrolled undergraduate students attended community colleges. Chad Hanson raises essential questions about what is lost when public institutions prioritise workforce preparation over comprehensive education, and explores pathways to restore the liberal arts tradition within community colleges. This scholarly work provides valuable insights for educators, administrators, policymakers, and anyone concerned with the future direction of higher education in America.

Key Features

Examines the shift of community colleges from liberal arts education to job training focus over recent decades.

Analyses both internal institutional changes and external forces that have influenced two-year college curricula and mission.

Addresses what educational values and opportunities are compromised when community colleges prioritise workforce development exclusively.

Provides recommendations for restoring liberal arts education within the community college system.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in higher education and social science research.
