To Educate the People. An Experimental Model for Urban Higher Education for the Working Adult.
Feinstein, Otto, Angelo, Frank
The University Studies and Weekend College concept and subsequent development at Wayne State University is described in this report. The program offers courses both to the college graduate who wants further education and to the working adult who never attended college. It leads to the Bachelor of General Studies degree through Wayne State's College of Life Long Learning. Its primary innovation is conceptual: that the working adult student is basically different from the just-out-of-high-school college entrant. Three other innovations deal with the program's delivery system, curricular content, and organizational structure. Each of these areas is detailed, along with descriptions of the television planning, veterans' needs, recruitment, student services, and student opinions. Appended are (1) lists of courses for the three basic years of Social Science, Humanities, and the Science/Technology sequence; (2) a breakdown of the various conferences held during the 1975-76 year; and (3) details of a total budget for establishing a Weekend College program.
