Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"One of Forbes' Best Higher Education Books of 2020"
"A useful though eminently debatable case for reform in the interest of teaching to today’s needs." * Kirkus Reviews *
"In this highly readable and engaging book, he delineates how colleges can better prepare students to gain the skills and develop the habits of mind necessary to succeed in life, especially in a fast-moving, knowledge-based society. . . . Highly recommended for college faculty and administrators, and anyone interested in how college students can find meaning and purpose in life." * Library Journal *
"
Higher Expectations provides a helpful guide for those who hope to fortify and reform this dwindling but essential collection of institutions. Bok’s vision of the purposes of higher education is unlikely to become the official state religion, but it could serve as a beautiful hymnal in dissenting churches."
