Abstract

The study about continuing higher education (CHE) in the United States of America shows findings on three levels: on the system level, the institutional level and the programme level. On the system level it discusses definitions of higher education and gives information about CHE providers, the CHE framework and the function of CHE in the USA. On the institutional level it presents information about organisational structures and management of CHE. In addition to that it deals with questions of recruitment of teaching staff, quality assurance, public relations/marketing/advertising, funding and future prospects. On the programme level it discusses formal aspects, such as qualification, e-learning, entrance requirements, subject areas and programme orientation. In addition to that the demand for CHE is discussed and the motivation and participation of staff in CHE programmes. © 2009 Springer Netherlands.
