The American Community College

Great book for anyone interested in learning about the Foundation of American Community Colleges. It's a breeze to read and contains a wealth of information. One of the best college Textbooks I have read in a long time.

Cohen's organization of the chapters and their content made the book reader friendly. This was a required textbook for a "Community College" class at a research university. I would suggest it to other instructors or faculty members regarding the topic of community colleges.

This book is an excellent choice for the study of the community college. Having ordered this book for one of my graduate classes--I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the reading. This book is FULL of information that helps the reader understand the big picture of the CC system.

This book is an excellent, current detailing of the state of the American Community College. It is widely used by administrative professionals in the field of higher education. Regardless of its research base and statistical knowledge, it is still an easy book to read and understand. Anyone who wants to know more about how a community college, in particular, operates needs to read this book. The first four chapters of the book may be a little dry, but the foundational information provided is invaluable. The last chapters leave room for one to think about the future of the community college. This book may also be used by instructors to have a further understanding of how educational institutions work, and could inspire one to take on an administrative role at the community college level or in higher education in general.
