An Initial Review of Adult Leisure Education in Community Colleges
Miller, Michael; Grover, Kenda
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v47 n1 p69-76 2023
Leisure education is an important part of community development as well as citizen engagement, and can be offered through a wide-range of providers. Community colleges have historically played an important role in offering these programs, yet little documentation has reported how they are operated or structured. The purpose for conducting the study was to explore and describe how community colleges structure and offer adult leisure education programs. Results of a national survey of professionals working in community college leisure education reported that they generally were either part of a larger continuing education unit within the college or reported to academic affairs, that they were most commonly led by a coordinator or director, and ultimately made decisions on course offerings based on market demand and revenue generation.
