Houston, Julia; Marksbury, Richard
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v51 n1 p38-42 Win 2003

Higher education institutions should seek consensus on the types and categories in order to maintain clarity. A delineation between nonbaccalaureate and postbaccalaureate and between credit and noncredit is a starting point. (Contains 11 references.) (SK)
