| Synopsis: |
Liberal arts education is one of the founding missions of community colleges. However, it has drifted toward vocational training to such an extent that the dominant narrative of the 21st-century community college portrays a job (re)training center more than an educational institution. This volume offers a timely, much-needed, and persuasive argument for the importance of a liberal arts education, particularly in the humanities, for all students attending a public, comprehensive community college. * The Landscape of the Liberal Arts * What Happened to the Liberal Arts?* Two-Year Humanities * A President s View on the Importance of the Liberal Arts in Community Colleges * Why Community College Students Need Great Books * Discovering History at the Community College * Why Community Colleges Need the Academic Study of Religion * How Interdisciplinary Liberal Arts Programs Prepare Students for Workforce and Life * A 21st-Century Humanities for the Community College * Sources on Liberal Arts in the Community College This is the 163rd volume of this Jossey-Bass higher education quarterly report series, an essential guide for presidents, vice presidents, deans, and other leaders in today's open-door institutions, this quarterly provides expert guidance in meeting the challenges of their distinctive and expanding educational mission. |
