The third annual report lists openings, closings, mergers, and accreditation status of independent colleges and universities in the decade of the 1970's.

Among the highlights: 91 percent of the openings in the 1970's occurred by 1974; only seven institutions were founded in the second half of the decade; 76 independent colleges and branch campuses were founded (10 two-year, 34 four-year, and 32 specialized institutions); 141 colleges and branch campuses closed (45 two-year, 57 four-year, and 39 specialized institutions), over two-thirds of them in the first half of the decade; 65 mergers of independent institutions occurred (29 two-year, 24 four-year, and 12 specialized institutions); 19 colleges shifted to public control (9 two-year, 6 four-year, and 4 specialized); and 358 independent institutions and branch campuses attained accreditation status from nationally recognized agencies (75 two-year, 168 four-year, and 115 specialized institutions). Appendices include criteria for listing in the "Education Directory," accreditation abbreviations, and a list of institutional name changes. (MSE)
