Abstract | In recent years, higher education has witnessed the entry of a new breed of postsecondary education providers. These institutions have reshaped the traditional views of the function and purpose of higher education. For-profit education institutions provide a small but rapidly growing segment of the student population with the knowledge and skills required to compete in the current job market. This annotated bibliography provides insight into many of the issues that challenge the future of the U.S. higher education system. It is based on a systematic review of the generally available literature conducted in early 2003. The literature search covered the years 1996-2003, from the recent emergence of the for-profit, degree-granting institutions to the present. General findings from the review of literature indicate that a lack of research in the area of for-profit higher education exists, accounting for the limited number of research-based articles in the area. The articles in this review are arranged alphabetically by author or issuing agency. Dissertations are listed separately, at the end of the bibliography. Each entry contains a bibliographic reference conforming to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Summaries of each entry, along with major findings or assertions, follow each bibliographic reference. (ERIC). |
