Structural Challenges and the Future of Honors Education is the
third volume in an edited series examining the proliferation of
honors programs and colleges in American higher education. While
honors education has become ubiquitous in American higher
education, this transformation has happened without systematic
attempts to align what honors means across institutions, and absent
a universally agreed upon definitions of what honors is and what it
might aspire to be in the future. This generates possibility and
flexibility, while also creating rather serious challenges. Many
such challenges are structural: perpetual budgetary constraints,
changing expectations about the role of high education and the
"return" it ought to provide to the student, and the changing
technological landscape of higher education and society more
generally. The contributors here examine the structural challenges
honors education currently faces and those forces it is likely to
confront in the future, offering insights about how honors might
respond creatively to these present and future challenges.
