type: CreativeWork
description: The purpose of this study was to identify the changes in the nature of adult and continuing education programs in small, private liberal arts colleges between 1970 and 1978, and to identify the relationship between (1) these program changes and (2) facilitating and limiting factors. The study emphasized the development of new understandings rather than the testing of existing theories because of the emphasis on existing natural settings and the lack of theory relative to recent changes in continuing education programs in small, private, liberal arts colleges.
