What Good is a College Education?

People have been pursuing higher education and advanced degrees for centuries, but why and to what end? In this podcast, Dr. Cox and Dr. Black investigate the history of higher education, from Socrates to the present day. They look at what has changed and how the educational process has evolved over the years. Using the fundamentals from their upcoming Foundational Studies Program course, they look at the balance between preparation for a specific career and the value of a broad-based curriculum. Also included—the role that technology plays in the changing face of higher education, and how to focus on what you can get out of a college education at least as much as the process of getting into a college environment.https://scholarworks.boisestate.edu/beyond_the_blue_podcasts/1025/thumbnail.jp
