State Policymakers and Time-shortened Degree Programs

Smart, John M.; Evans, Charles

Journal of Higher Education, 48, 2, 202-15, Mar/Apr 77

Credit by examination and early college entrance are seen as among the best methods of time shortening; reducing requirements, among the poorest. (Author/LBH)
