A few posts ago I wrote about some stats that might surprise some of us. It was about “non-traditional” college age people (to read that click here). I’ve recently found a couple other interesting things that might continue to change the way you think about the college campus.
First, this episode of Frontline had some very interesting findings and insights. You can watch that here:
Second, an article titled, “For-Profit Colleges Change Higher Educations Landscape” goes along with the above video. This article highlights the growth of these college’s and addresses the affects they are having. You might find it interesting to see how they have developed over the years.
Now, I’m not writing about this to get people up in arms about this. I don’t think this is changing the daily ministries of what most of us do today. These college’s are largely attended by people who are already in the workforce and past what I refer to as the “college-age years” (for me that is 18-25). However, it is interesting to me the affect it might have on the future direction of all college’s….which could drastically affect what we do. Our University educational philosophy hasn’t changed in centuries….but that’s not to say it won’t soon either.
