ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on the history and condition of the study of higher education and its historic and emerging specializations in administration, community college administration, student affairs administration, higher education research, and higher education public policy studies. It provides descriptions of how one university found the guidelines useful in bringing greater quality to its higher education administration doctoral program. The book presents an engaging discussion about the evolutionary developments related to the study of higher education programs with a particular focus on the historic specialization of the study of community college administration. It addresses the new schooling and higher education contexts in the United States, which may cause problems for those faculty and administrators seeking a higher education administration focused degree program through imposing guidelines or standards to uphold such degree programs.
