| Abstract

:
|
"In this revised and updated fifth edition, the authors include the most vital information about changes in the community college environment that have occurred in the past quarter century. The American Community College will be useful to all concerned with the role and purpose of community institutions in American higher education. The descriptions and analyses of each of the institution's functions can be used by administrators who want to learn about practices that have proven successful at other colleges, curriculum planners involved in program revisions, faculty members seeking ideas for modifying their courses, trustees and officials concerned with college policies regarding curriculum and student services, and graduate students preparing for careers in these institutions."--Jacket.
