Beyond Free College outlines an audacious national
agenda-consistent with, but far more comprehensive than, the
current "free college" movement-that builds on the best of US
higher education's populist history such as the G.I. Bill and the
community college transfer function. The authors align a wide
constellation of higher education trends-online learning, prior
learning assessment, competency-based learning, high school
college-credit- with a rapidly shifting student transfer
environment that privileges college credit as the pivotal
educational catalyst to boost access and completion. The book's
agenda seeks greater productive investment in postsecondary
education by privileging a single
metric-lower-cost-per-degree-granted-as the animating driver of a
transfer pathway that will fulfill the potential of its historical,
progressive innovators. Beyond Free College's goal is as simple as
it is urgent: To galvanize higher education advocates in an effort
to reorganize, reorient, and reignite the transfer function to
serve the needs of a neotraditional student population that now
constitutes the majority of college-goers in America; and in ways
that advance completion, not just access to higher education.
