Publisher's Synopsis
Praise for the Previous Edition
"This book is essential reading for anyone who thinks deeply about community colleges. Students in leadership programs as well as professionals with many years of experiences will benefit from its rich content."
David R. Pierce, president, American Association of Community Colleges
"I have been using the earlier editions of this book with my graduate students for more than a decade, and they and I love it for its conciseness, accuracy, and treatment of issues in an analytical way. The book has great ′take–home′ value."
Joseph N. Hankin, president, SUNY/Westchester Community College
"Comprehensive, scholarly, and well–written. Already a classic in its field, this third edition of The American Community College is an indispensable resource for graduate students, professors, and anyone else who wants to understand the development and unique mission of America′s community colleges."
George B. Vaughan, professor of higher education, North Carolina State University
