The Transformation of Private Liberal Arts Colleges.

St. John, Edward P.

Review of Higher Education, v15 n1 p83-106 Fall 1991

A study of five private liberal arts colleges (Arkansas, Catawba, Pomona, Waldorf, Washington) examined organizational changes in the 1980s, contributing factors, and overall institutional impact. Results suggest the colleges were better places to work and learn than a decade earlier, with improvements in campus life, curricula, faculty development, and finances. (MSE)
