Reports on how some American colleges and universities are preparing thoughtful, committed, and socially responsible graduates. Many institutions assert these ambitions, but too few act on them. The authors demonstrate the fundamental importance of moral and civic education, describe how the historical and contemporary landscapes of higher education have shaped it, and explain the educational and developmental goals and processes involved in educating citizens. They examine the challenges colleges and universities face when they dedicate themselves to this vital task and present concrete ways to overcome those challenges.

This book reports the results of a study of educational practices at the college level that prepare students for high quality democratic participation. Drawing on both quantitative and qualitative data from this study, the book articulates the most important goals of education for democratic participation, as they play out in practice, and provides rich accounts of key educational strategies that can be used to accomplish these goals. It also offers a theoretical statement of the importance, legitimacy, and feasibility of educating for democratic participation as well as a practical handbook, providing clear guidance to faculty and administrators wishing to help their students gain the understanding, skills, and motivation they need to be fully engaged in political life, broadly defined.

Competence and character are at the heart of our notions of a mature and successful adult, yet many questions about their nature and development remain unanswered. In this collection, leading psychologists, sociologists, and criminologists highlight the potential for positive development in different domains. By positing the possibility of multiple pathways of development rather than a single universal sequence, the contributors view the individual as potentially advancing in a wide range of interrelated and overlapping competencies. The nine essays in the book cover the years from youth to middle age, and they examine a range of social, political, and moral components of "competence and character" from teenage pregnancy and life-planning skills to voting records and educational attainment in low income households. Unlike comparable studies, this original and comprehensive volume frames issues, events, and longitudinal data through the lens of possibility rather than the pathology of defeat, stressing a positive approach to our conception of human potential.

"This book is from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching's three-year effort developed in response to concerns about the failures of business education to prepare undergraduates for their responsibilities in society, including in their business practice. Business leaders stress the importance of liberal learning but most liberal arts courses are not well-integrated with the business curriculum. This important resource reports on examples of how the two can be integrated and offers solid recommendations for improvement. The authors also address the value of some perspectives that business can offer to the liberal arts"--
