The contributors focus on such institutions as the University of Phoenix, DeVry, and Strayer to present theoretically grounded and data-driven research from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. They document unprecedented shifts in the postsecondary political economy and landscape and evaluate the implications for nonprofit institutions, including understanding the public and private benefits of higher education, postsecondary access and success, institutional resource allocation, competition, governance, and technology.SUNY series, frontiers in education.For-profit universities and collegesUnited StatesEducation, HigherEconomic aspectsUnited StatesFor-profit universities and collegesEducation, HigherEconomic aspects338.4/3378Breneman David W1719140Pusser Brian772240Turner Sarah E.1966-1129862MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809065103321Earnings from learning4116686UNINA
