- Title
The win-win of adult degree programs.
- Authors
Richard Ellis, J.
- Abstract
Adult degree programs have been seen as a win-win solution for private colleges and adult learners, but their innovative and often-entrepreneurial postures are not a natural fit with governance structures in more traditional institutions. Through narrative and illustrative vignettes, this chapter presents an overview of efforts employed by some institutions to strike a balance between their historic missions and these nontraditional programs.
