Abstract

Is independent study an extension method that will reach urban adults? Can independent study contribute to solving some problems of the urban crisis? The authors believe it can. They say independent study is appealing, has a liberal admission policy, and allows the adult to study at his own rate- and while he holds a full-time job. But to be effective, independent study must expand its curricula to include courses like criminology, theory and principles of community development, urban sociology, and Afro-American literature.
