Compiled by the Small/Rural Community Colleges Commission of the American Association of Community and Junior Colleges, this collection of one-page program descriptions provides information on 121 exemplary programs and/or services at small and/or rural two-year institutions nationwide. Each program description provides the following information: program/service title; target population; college name; executive officer; contact person; college address; phone number; program/service narrative (of up to 250 words); associated costs; personnel requirements; and key concepts for success.
