Summary
"As the economic value of education increases, as more students seek to complete college courses while forgoing "the undergraduate experience," and as funding for public higher education decreases, the for-profit higher education sector has exploded. In New Players, Different Game, William G. Tierney and Guilbert C. Hentschke compare for-profit and not-for-profit models of higher education to assess the strengths and weaknesses of both."--BOOK JACKET. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
