The College Completion Glass-Half-Full or Half-Empty?

Exploring the Value of Postsecondary Education

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a new paradigm for higher education, one that focuses on "the value added" of postsecondary education as well as on student success beyond the traditional measure of college graduation rates, a model which merges conventional practices and supports for students with non-traditional partnerships with successful non-completers.
