Abstract: | Higher education's efforts to respond to the growing demand for non-traditional programs and services have resulted in the proliferation of external degree programs. The present inquiry examines the status of these programs in traditional institutions. Basing evaluation on the guidelines set forth by the Carnegie Commission for Non-Traditional Study (1973), the author suggests that external programs have not achieved the desired degrees of integration into the academic mainstream. Diverse management and planning approaches that might facilitate institutional adaptation and enhance program strength and viability are explored. |
