Book excerpt: Up-to-date facts and figures on enrollments, tuition and fees, academic programs, campus environment, available financial aid, and much more make the 28th edition of Profiles of American Colleges America’s most authoritative data source for college-bound high school students, their parents, and high school guidance counselors. More than 1,650 accredited four-year colleges are profiled. An interactive CD-ROM enclosed with the directory guides students to specific schools when they enter details describing their personal academic plans and aptitudes. In addition to the above-cited information, each college profile gives details on: • Admission requirements • Library and computer facilities • Admissions procedures for freshmen • Campus safety and security • Thumbnail descriptions of faculty • Requirements for a degree • Athletic facilities • Extracurricular activities • E-mail addresses • College fax numbers and web sites • Admissions Contacts • and much more Schools are rated according to Barron’s well-known competitiveness scale, from “Noncompetitive” to “Most Competitive.” Unlike some other publications, Barron’s refrains from the unreliable practice of ranking colleges on a first-through-last basis. The book’s tinted pages section presents a quick-reference Index of College Majors that lists all available major study programs at each school. Also profiled are many excellent colleges in Canada and several other countries, as well as brief profiles of religious colleges, and American colleges based in foreign countries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do for-profit colleges and universities (FPCUs) pose a threat to traditional providers of higher education, or do they play a vital role at a time when the capacity of public and private non-profits to meet demand is constrained? With the US no longer the leader in developing a college-educated workforce, can FPCUs help redress the competitive gap? What can be learned from the management practices and growth of FPCUs – that now number close to 3,000 institutions in the US – whose increase in enrollments has out-paced that of traditional institutions, and who now grant around 8% of all degrees? This book offers a clear-eyed and balanced analysis of for-profit colleges and universities, reviewing their history, business strategies, and management practices; setting them in the context of marketplace conditions, the framework of public policy and government regulations; and viewing them in the light of the public good.Individual chapters variously explore FPCU’s governance, how they develop courses and programs, and the way they define faculty work; present findings from in-depth interviews with part-time and full-time faculty to understand how external forces and the imperative of profit generation affect faculty roles and responsibilities of faculty; analyze policy considerations that affect FPCUs, including federal regulation and oversight, accountability and assessment, and the legal and regulatory issues FPCUs face internationally; and finally address the notion of academic freedom and the distribution of public monies to FPCUs. Looking beyond FPCUs’ current strategy of offering career programming to non-traditional students, the book reveals how they are positioning themselves to meet future market needs by developing new programs targeting a wider group of students.Recognizing that FPCUs are more developing than fully developed, the authors convey both the current state and the unresolved issues facing these businesses, and, in so doing, surface enduring topics that face all of post-secondary education.
