This report summarizes results from a 1995 national survey on higher education. The telephone survey asked a random sample of 1,124 adults about issues related to continuing education, distance learning, and the performance of colleges, vocational schools, and universities. It found that a large majority of adults from all age groups, income levels, and backgrounds recognize the value of lifelong education and training. About 81 percent of the respondents thought that getting additional education was important for them to be successful at work. Interest in additional education was found to be highest among those who already had college training, and those with college training were more likely to continue their education in one form or another. A majority of respondents thought that it was important for state land-grant universities to provide multiple services, including off-campus instruction and services for older students. Three appendixes provide information on the survey methodology, additional data tables, and a reprint of a short article based on the same 1995 survey, entitled "The Public View of Land Grant Universities: Results from a National Survey" by James A. Christenson and others. (MDM)
