“…These urban campuses continue the change in higher education brought by the Morrill and the Smith-Lever acts because they often differ from the traditional liberal arts and the research models of higher education. Such institutions as Towson State (Baltimore), Northeastern Illinois (Chicago), University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Toledo, Old Dominion University (Norfolk, Va.) and Arizona State (Phoenix) are examples of the new urban campus (Kinnick and Ricks, 1990). These new urban-based institutions perceive themselves as the servants of society.…”

Literature about the urban campus indicates that traditional, full‐time faculty who teach and engage in scholarly, creative work, or research may need to shift to more applied and community‐oriented service programs. Hence, the role of faculty development is changing because the issues facing the urban university are changing. These changes are prompted by the unique growth and development within the neighborhood of urban‐based campuses. Pressure from the communities to make the campuses more community oriented, along with growing concern for the nature and quality of instruction, help foster change. Campus administration concerns about the institution becoming a “good” neighbor by contributing to the community puts unique pressures on the faculty developer. The faculty developer is in a position to see campus changes which can affect instructional methods or styles such as increased numbers of minority or immigrant students and more part‐time faculty. While these changes occur, the general faculty often remains relatively traditional in its attitudes about teaching.

“…Yet evidence exists of the decline of transfer rates (Dougherty, 1992;Grubb, 1991) and degree attainmen't for those starting at the community college who had intended to complete their baccalaureate degrees. For the nontraditional students, the prospect of completing a degree, is further hindered by delayed entry following high school (Kempner & Kinnick, 1990).…”

“…For example, work continues on the concept of the urban public university (Grobman, 1988;Kinnick & Ricks, 1990). Emerging after World War I1 and providing important educational functions in the local metropolitan environment, research suggests that these universities often manifest different characteristics than their nonurban counterparts.…”

This paper explores the emergence of a new species of institution-the urban small college-which is distinguished in part by degree programs for adults. The discussion is intended to be a useful resource for academic and student service personnel a t these small colleges who, usually without any training in adult education, must develop programs for local, working adults and integrate them with their existing curricula and services for traditional-aged, residential students. Five specific recommendations are made based on a transcript study of graduates a t an urban small college in Portland, Oregon.
