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. 410 0$aSUNY series, frontiers in education. 606 $aFor-profit universities and colleges$zUnited States 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aFor-profit universities and colleges 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects 676 $a338.4/3378 701 $aBreneman$b David W$01719140 701 $aPusser$b Brian$0772240 701 $aTurner$b Sarah E.$f1966-$01129862 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809065103321 996 $aEarnings from learning$94116686 997 $aUNINA
