Preparing for Veterans: Higher Education and the Efforts to Accredit the Learning of World War II Servicemen and Women.

Rose, Amy D.

Adult Education Quarterly, v42 n1 p30-45 Fall 1991

The assumptions of the process continue to have implications for the assessment of adult life experience and its integration in college curricula. (SK)
