A symposium on nontraditional programs in higher education in Tennessee discusses programs throughout the state that depart from the classroom mode of instruction. Programs discussed include those conducted on campus for resident students offering work study, credit and noncredit programs, and programs that focus on community activities of cultural or public-service interest. Programs illustrate the diversity of higher education, but also the necessity for congruence. Topics focus on adult and continuing education, careers in Tennessee, the humanities in the rural community, credits, individualized education, apprenticeship programs, audiotutorial programs, and liberal arts instruction.
