Higher Ed: A Guide for the Perplexed
All the resources that the podcast has produced which explain college to the confused
Higher education can feel bewildering: admissions, affordability, student life, and everything that goes on—or doesn’t—in the classroom.
What can make it worse is that a lot of people have opinions about it, but those are often a decade or so old—accumulated when they were residential college students. Close examination would show they didn’t actually know all that much about how their own college worked at the time, let alone ten years later. And they certainly didn’t know how other four-year residential colleges worked, and as for two-year colleges…they don’t even think of them as college.
This ongoing series of conversations brings together historians, educators, and practitioners to help make sense of it all.
