The Collegiate Function of Community Colleges: Fostering Higher Learning Through Curriculum and Student Transfer

by Florence B. Brawer and Arthur M. Cohen

This book analyzes the community college's role as a link between secondary schools and four-year colleges and universities. It provides new insights into the colleges' conflicting identities as open access institutions and as gatekeepers for higher learning and shows how the two roles can be successfully reconciled.
