ABSTRACT: Market saturation and diminishing opportunities
are imminent in fields heavily favored by blacks in
college: the social sciences, home economics and education.
Future opportunities will come in fields presently
unpopular or unknown to blacks: engineering, accounting,
library science, urban and regional planning, health
professions, and computer sciences. The southern states'
Institute for Higher Educational Opportunity has served
since 1967 as a vehicle to promote black educational
progress. Its activities have included direct financial aid
to institutions, advisory assistance, regional workshops,
writing conferences, planning sessions, and more than 25
published studies. The emphasis in these activities has
been on recruitment, addmissions and retention, building
curricula, and institutional sharing. Some statistical data
on enrollments and job prospects, examples of
interinstitutional cooperation, and a brief bibliography
are included. (MSE)
