The trend toward expanding the normal four-year teacher education program into a fifth year is discussed, and the University of Kansas extended program is described.

Levine, Arthur – Journal of Blacks in Higher Education, 1994
Proposals for three-year college degrees would affect African American students by making larger enrollments possible, but the negatives would outweigh the positives. Black students would be less likely than others to take advantage of the situation and costs would probably rise on a per-semester basis. (SLD)
