Description

Presents scientific evidence that, for the very first time, reveals how much American colleges & univ. -- including some of our most elite schools -- add to, or subtract from, their graduates’ understanding of America’s history & fundamental institutions. This study represents the culmination of a multiyear research process involving a team of prof. experienced in the classroom, the Nat. Civic Literacy Board, & the Univ. of Connecticut’s Dept. of Public Policy. Findings: (1) America’s colleges & univ. fail to increase knowledge about America’s history & institutions; (2) Prestige doesn’t pay off; (3) Students don’t learn what colleges don’t teach; & (4) Greater civic learning goes hand-in-hand with more active citizenship. Includes recommendations. Illustrations.
