States Press Their Colleges To Make Transferring Easier.
Schmidt, Peter
Chronicle of Higher Education, v43 n45 pA28-A29 Jul 18 1997
Over a dozen states are trying to force their public colleges to be more accommodating to transfer students, urging use of common course numbers and titles and in some cases mandating that the institutions accept credits earned elsewhere. The effort is designed to make community colleges less expensive and more attractive to students and taxpayers and to enhance academic planning. (MSE)
