Sommario:
- American Universities and Colleges. Seventeenth Edition. Volume 1. ACE/Praeger Series on Higher Education Statistical Data Exhibits Study Abroad Professional Education Higher Education Directories Indexes Textbook Content Information Sources Colleges Institutional Research Accreditation (Institutions) Reference Materials "American Universities and Colleges" includes extensive information on 1,900 accredited colleges and universities that offer at least the baccalaureate degree. The institutions are arranged by state, and then alphabetically by institution. Volume 2 of the set provides four indexes, including an Institutional Index, a Subject Index, a Levels of Degrees Offered index, and a Tabular Index of Summary Data by State. These helpful indexes allow readers to find information easily and to make comparisons among institutions effectively. Modoc Press, as it has since the 12th edition, has collected the data and updated the institutional information. A two-volume set, "American Universities and Colleges" provides both the essential statistical data (tuition, room and board, admission requirements, financial aid, enrollments, etc.) and all the other information equally important to decision making (student life, library holdings, physical plant, accelerated and study abroad programs, etc.). Charts and tables provide easy access to comparative data on relevant topics. This volume begins with the Foreword; Notes on Institutional Exhibits; Accreditation in Higher Education; and Abbreviations and Definitions. Part I, Higher Education in the United States, introduces the following two chapters: (1) The Structure of Higher Education; and (2) Government and Higher Education. Part II continues with Professional Education in the United States, and Part III, Universities and Colleges (ordered by state), concludes this volume. [For Volume 2, see ED493394.
