Text and accompanying data tables in this study compare Anchorage Community College (ACC) with selected California community colleges as studied. Cohen and Brawer (1981) identified three major shifts which were identified by a California study by Hunter and Sheldon (1979-1980). A total of 351 student records were randomly elected from the three study years, 1960, 1970 and 1980. Variables included, sex, age, GPA, years in college, credit hours earned in communications, humanities, math/science, social science, applied science/elective, remedial. ACC was found to have a pattern similar to the California community colleges and the three major shifts were identified to exist at ACC: (1) an inversion of collegiate (transfer) and career (vocational) education; (2) enrollment patterns have become more laterial than linear; and (3) there has been an acceleration in trends towards less-than-college-level instruction. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-01, Section: A, page: 0056. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.
