Mission
As world economies continue to shift and change in response to global financial situations, job mar-
kets have begun to demand a more highly-skilled workforce. In many industries a college degree is the
minimum requirement and further educational development is expected to advance. With these current
trends in mind, the Advances in Higher Education & Professional Development (AHEPD) Book
Series provides an outlet for researchers and academics to publish their research in these areas and to
distribute these works to practitioners and other researchers.
AHEPD encompasses all research dealing with higher education pedagogy, development, and cur-
riculum design, as well as all areas of professional development, regardless of focus.
