Author

Central Michigan Univ., Mount Pleasant. Inst. for Personal and Career Development., Doyle, Richard J., and Yantis, John

Abstract

Intensive scheduling has been shown to be an effective educational medium. The Institute for Personal and Career Development at Central Michigan University has developed an external degree program for adults that uses various innovative approaches including intensive scheduling. Several scheduling patterns are offered. A number of studies have directly and indirectly investigated various aspects of intensive scheduling. The results of these studies are presented and include those concerning short-term cognitive changes, retention of material learned, student and faculty attitudes, problems with intensive scheduling, and predictions that can be made on the basis of the data presented. Suggestions of areas for further study are given. (JMF)

Abstract

The article focuses on colleges and universities that are beginning to take seriously the challenge posed by the reentry of adult students. According to the author, in recent years, the enrollment of adults in higher education, has increased significantly. The financial condition of most institutions of higher education, coupled with the growth in demand for educational services for adults, makes it worth while for colleges and universities to accept the challenge of the reentry of adult students. The growing interest in the education of adults returning to college can be seen in the growing number of college programs specifically designed for adults and in the increased attention that the media have given to such programs.
