Meeting the Needs of Information-Age Employers.
Wallace, Steven R.
Community College Journal, v69 n6 p21-22 Jul 1999

A new practitioner-oriented applied baccalaureate degree that emphasizes the competencies demanded in today's business environment should be developed by the community colleges, with the input of employers and legislators.
