The Role and Scope of Oklahoma Higher Education; Guidelines for Planning in the Decade of the 1970's.
Hobbs, Dan S.
The purpose of this study was to assess the needs of Oklahoma for higher education programs and services in the years ahead, and to develop a plan for the various segments of the higher education enterprise. This report, together with one on junior colleges, is intended to provide the basis for a statewide master plan during the 1970s. Chapter 1 gives a brief overview of the growth of higher education in the state, and its prospects for the 70s. Chapter 2 discusses population and economic trends. Chapter 3 outlines the goals of higher education that are related to individual and social needs, the nature of higher education, effectiveness, and support. Chapter 4 reviews student enrollments by sex, class, geographic origin, academic aptitude, achievement, and student retention, and projects enrollment to 1980. Chapter 5 discusses the various functions and programs of higher education; chapter 6 the organization for control of higher education in the state; and chapter 7 Oklahoma's resources for higher education. Chapter 8 contains conclusions, recommendations, and suggestions for implementation. Appendix A contains a policy statement on off-campus classes and Appendix B degree programs available in Oklahoma's 4-year colleges and universities. (AF)
