Whether they recognize it or not, virtually all colleges and
universities face three Grand Challenges: Improve the learning
outcomes of a higher education: A large majority of college
graduates are weak in capabilities that faculty and employers both
see as crucial Extend more equitable access to degrees: Too often,
students from underserved groups and poor households either don't
enter college or else drop out without a degree. The latter group
may be worse off economically than if they'd never attempted
college. Make academic programs more affordable (in money and time)
for students and other important stakeholder groups: Many potential
students believe they lack the money or time needed for academic
success. Many faculty believe they don't have time to make their
courses and degree programs more effective. Many institutions
believe they can't afford to improve outcomes. These challenges are
global. But, in a higher education system such as that in the
United States, the primary response must be institutional. This
book analyzes how, over the years, six pioneering colleges and
universities have begun to make visible, cumulative progress on all
three fronts.
