About this product
Product Information
Experts discuss the disruptive changes faced by liberal arts colleges. As one of the most successful educational enterprises in American history, the residential liberal arts college has long been emulated across all spectrums of undergraduate education in the United States and increasingly around the world. These schools are characterized by broad-based curricula, small class size, and interaction between students and faculty. Aimed at developing students' intellectual literacy and critical-thinking skills rather than specific professional preparation, the value proposition made by these colleges has recently come under intense pressure. Remaking College brings together a distinguished group of higher education leaders to define the American liberal arts model, to describe the challenges these institutions face, and to propose sustainable solutions. These essays elucidate the shifting economic and financial models for liberal arts colleges and consider the opportunities afforded by technology, globalism, and intercollegiate cooperative models. By exploring new ideas, offering bold proposals, and identifying emerging lessons, the authors consider the unique position these schools can play in their communities and in the larger world.

Across varying discussions, these leaders argue that 'flexibility' will continue to characterize the agility and adaptability that the liberal arts college produces in its graduates and reflects in its own longevity., Remaking College brings together a distinguished group of higher education leaders to define the American liberal arts model, describe the challenges these institutions face, and propose sustainable solutions. Ultimately, they argue that a liberal arts education is, in fact, crucial to not just boosting the economy but to solving many of the world's problems., Two presidents assert that higher education will have to address spiraling costs and that some college--particularly regional liberal arts colleges--will have trouble surviving if they don't., Higher education is going under the microscope to prove its value. Add to that a growing chorus of pundits who believe that a liberal arts education is a waste of time and a relic of the past. But two college presidents argue in [ Remaking College ] that a liberal arts education is, in fact, crucial to not just boosting the economy but to solving many of the world's problems., Two presidents assert that higher education will have to address spiraling costs and that some college-particularly regional liberal arts colleges-will have trouble surviving if they don't.
