内容説明
This completely updated and expanded edition of American Universities and Colleges continues the tradition of being the foremost reference book on postsecondary education in the United States. Prepared in collaboration with the American Council on Education, the major coordinating body of higher education, the Sixteenth Edition is enlarged both in the number of institutions represented and the amount of information provided. Over 1,900 institutions are covered. Material for each entry comes directly from the institutions themselves, in response to a questionnaire created by the Council for this purpose. A two-volume set, American Universities and Colleges provides both the essential statistical data (tuition, room and board, admission requirements, financial aid, enrollments, etc.) and all the other information equally important to decision making (student life, library holdings, physical plant, accelerated and study abroad programs, etc.). Numerous charts and tables throughout provide easy access to comparative data on relevant topics. In addition to complete listings for the institutions, other aspects of higher education in the U.S. are examined.
A full section is devoted to the foreign student at U.S. institutions. Included is a list of overseas offices with counseling services on study in the U.S., plus a number of tables dealing with various aspects of foreign language student enrollments from 1954-55 to 1998-99. Another section deals with professional education in the U.S., using more than 40 subject areas to discuss the institutions offering professional programs, admission and degree requirements, and licensing and certification programs. New areas of professional study included in this edition are acupuncture and oriental medicine, culinary, dance, music, theater, marriage and family therapy, occupational therapy, and public affairs. Appearing for the first time are a section on the affordability of college education and institutional listings of the separate professions under allied health. Other sections deal with such diverse topics as the history of higher education in the U.S., government and education, and the academic costume code. Combining the best and most comprehensive information available on postsecondary education, American Universities and Colleges is published every four to five years.
