Question 5 • OK-Oklahoma History -CA- 37411A

Which of the following choices was not a major reason that community colleges educated students throughout Oklahoma during the 1960s and 1970s?

Answer
A
to prepare students for four-year liberal arts colleges
B
to create funding opportunities for the state’s public university system
C
to train students in agricultural, technical, and vocational skills
D
to educate residents from communities not located particularly close to larger universities

Explanation

Community colleges in Oklahoma served practical educational needs: they prepared students to transfer to four-year colleges, offered agricultural, technical, and vocational training, and brought education closer to communities far from larger universities. Creating funding opportunities for the state’s public university system was not a major reason for their statewide expansion. The correct choice is “to create funding opportunities for the state’s public university system.”
