Colleges and universities are beginning to change the way they do business, because the students are changing. It used to be that most students went to college immediately out of high school, left home for the first time to live on campus, and completed a degree in four years to commence in the world of work in their chosen profession, perhaps never to return to the university again. Today, the growing college population is adult students over the age of 25 who are non-professional, working full-time, perhaps with a family from diverse backgrounds. Consequently, they expect the college or university to adjust to their time constraints and to offer courses that are more accessible than just on-campus. Frequently, they view themselves as equals to faculty and do not want to sit idly at the knees of masters as passive listeners. The "one-text / one-test / one-delivery-mode-fits-all" approach to instruction is becoming less and less appealing. They are becoming more attracted to institutions like the University of Phoenix whose greeting is, "We're a new type of university centered around you, the student." The significance of this new group of adult learners should not be ignored by institutions of higher education. If this group is dissatisfied, their support for the academy will decline. And this dissatisfaction will spread to potential students of all types. Furthermore, it is becoming more and more apparent that the university's role in developing "life-long learners" is critical, as with the global economic changes, new jobs are replacing old ones to such an extent that the ability to be a skillful, motivated life-long learner is a requirement to survive in the world of work. 1. It used to be ______ most students went to college immediately out of high school, left home for the first time to live on campus, and completed a degree in four years to commence in the world of work in their chosen profession, perhaps never to return to the university again.
