A Profile of Private Liberal Arts Colleges by Bruce M. Carnes Pdf
This study examines the trends that are discernible in the aggregate data available from private liberal arts colleges. The study does not propose to describe institutional conditions at a particular moment in history. Rather, it attempts to construct a profile of private liberal arts colleges as a group, a profile in the process of change through time and the force of new conditions and circumstances. The universe to be studied is the approximately 690 private liberal arts colleges in the Nation and the important contribution they make by increasing the educational options available to students. It is anticipated that this publication will provide educators, legislators, and concerned citizens with a convenient, yet thorough, compilation of the extant information regarding these important institutions. The major source of data is the Higher Education General Information Survey; however, the study also makes use of data from numerous private organizations and independent scholars.
