Abstract	The regional approach to postsecondary education in Minnesota is discussed in this publication. A review of the regional approach is provided along with articles on the program's impact in specific regions. The primary goal of the regional centers in Rochester, the Iron Range, and Wadena is to meet regional needs more efficiently and effectively through increased cooperation among area institutions and coordination of programs and planning. Generally, the students are adults for whom access to four-year institutions is difficult because of job and family responsibilities. The centers do not offer degrees, but through the use of joint schedules, joint advising services, and other means, students may select courses and earn deqrees from participating institutions that bring their resources (faculty, courses, etc.) to the project area.
