Education and citizenship have traveled together throughout the history of the United States. As historian Thomas Bender has shown, America’s earliest institutions of higher learning were civic and public. America has depended upon higher education to strengthen civic society time and time again. Historians of education note that America’s unique contribution to education is not that of the research university but that of the liberal arts college. Most fully in America have people realized the goal of education for citizenship and life in general. Liberal arts, alone among the forms of higher education in this country, has clung tenaciously to civic education as a fundamental purpose. From this strong and deep foundation of democracy, people should again retrieve the formation of citizens as a basic goal of higher education. The people must shape world citizens who can ask and answer very difficult questions about economics and mission, such as the role of entrepreneurship in the university, and who or what controls the research agenda. © 2005 Taylor & Francis.
