Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Degree Programs
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the value of Internet-based study. The availability of online degree programs opens a wealth of possibilities to those who would have no access to those programs in only the traditional setting. Certainly there are disadvantages to the virtual classroom format, as there are with the traditional classroom format. The advantages outweigh those negatives, however, allowing the Internet to assist in bringing high-quality education to a greater number of people, and in a wider range of socioeconomic demographic groups. It allows the "late bloomer" adult or the mid-life career-changer the freedom to pursue new interests, and to gain the degrees necessary for securing positions in which their years of practical work experience can be of benefit to greater numbers of people.

African Americans' College Enrollment
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research proposal seeking to determine why more African American students do not seek college admission. Black and white Americans enjoyed momentary equality in terms of enrollment in colleges and universities in 1976. That equality was short lived as disparities grew until 1982, when the racial gap between African American and white students grew to 10 percent. All college enrollment has increased in recent years; African American students have made the greatest gains among minority students. By 2003, the racial gap had declined to less than 8 percent and 54.8 percent of all African American students completing high school entered college during their first year after high school. There is some evidence that the state of the national economy may be a predictor of African American college enrollment, but there is also evidence that African American students are discouraged from attending college in the form of negative messages regarding likelihood of success. Bibliography lists 5 sources. Includes an abstract.

American Colleges Should Rank Themselves.
[ send me this paper ]
(5 pp) Current college accreditation methods must change. College accreditation started off with the right idea, but now college ivy now hides its original goal and clouds an educational institution's mission statement as well as its methods towards accomplishing its perceived goals. Part of this murkiness is that the evaluation team or accreditors evaluate a college based on collegiality and assistance, avoiding all hint of comparisons among supposed equals. Comparisons of multiple factors are necessary if parents and students are to base their educational needs on informed choices. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
