Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The importance of for-profit higher education becomes clear when one examines the state of higher education today.

This book grew out of research linked to the Good Work Higher Education Project, which, since 1995, has been investigating how individuals are able to carry out good work in their chosen professions when conditions are changing at unprecedented rates. Good work is work that is at once of high quality, socially responsible, and fulfilling to the worker.
