And he looks intently at where university credentials might be headed, as educational institutions seek to best serve students and employers in a rapidly changing world.The result is an unprecedented, comprehensive look at the current credentialing landscape in higher education—as well as at the future challenges and opportunities for this vital field.

The plan of the book reflects the authors' practical aim. In the first of three parts, they offer a broad view of the topic—how credentials work, how a proliferation in credentials has created an unprecedented array of educational choices, and the implications of this abundance in considering the models to use. In the second part, they focus on categories of credentials, from the associate degree, to doctoral degrees, and to non-degree credentials. The book concludes with two chapters that consider the implications of the information the authors provide for leadership in volatile times, such as considerations of equity; and offer twelve propositions for action.
