State College as an Answer to Rural American Education Needs
Burr, Kevin L.
Community College Enterprise, v12 n2 p69-79 Fall 2006
Rural America struggles as a socioeconomic entity. While the community college has been an essential response to some of the needs of rural American higher education, the community college mission is not comprehensive enough to provide complete higher education needs. Four-year degree options are necessary for rural America to progress in economic growth. The answer to the need could be the state college as defined in this article. (Contains 1 table.)
