This edited volume proposes that the phenomenon of private sector,
financialized higher education expansion in the United States
benefits from a range of theoretical and methodological treatments.
Social scientists, policy analysts, researchers, and for-profit
sector leaders discuss how and to what ends for-profit colleges are
a functional social good. The chapters include discussions of
inequality, stratification, and legitimacy, differing greatly from
other work on for-profit colleges in three ways: First, this volume
moves beyond rational choice explanations of for-profit expansion
to include critical theoretical work. Second, it deals with the
nuances of race, class, and gender in ways absent from other
research. Finally, the book's interdisciplinary focus is uniquely
equipped to deal with the complexity of high-cost, low-status,
for-profit credentialism at a scale never before seen.
