Positions itself as a more encompassing overview than similar works. Most chapters include an obligatory section on minority groups and gender differences. Enjoyed learning about connections to colonial colleges and the role of higher education in national movements. The analysis of institutional "prestige" over time was particularly insightful.

Colleges and universities are among the most cherished--and controversial--institutions in the United States. In this updated edition of A History of American Higher Education, John R. Thelin offers welcome perspective on the triumphs and crises of this highly influential sector in American life. Thelin's work has distinguished itself as the most wide-ranging and engaging account of the origins and evolution of America's institutions of higher learning. This edition brings the discussion of perennial hot-button issues such as big-time sports programs up to date and addresses such current areas of contention as the changing role of governing boards and the financial challenges posed by the economic downturn.
