Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an in-depth analysis of the weaknesses of the college system of education in the United States. The author first describes the current system and then offers a series of reforms to correct its defects. The author sees the college experience through the lens of preparing for professional life and argues that the present system is out of touch with the needs of students. They contend that focusing the curriculum almost entirely on the learned professions, to the exclusion of practical studies, does not serve the majority of students who do not go on to become doctors, lawyers, or ministers. In the author's view, a college education should provide general, practical knowledge that can be applied in a variety of fields and expanded upon as students progress in their careers. This book is an insightful critique of the current system of higher education in the United States.
