The Story Of Paradigm University

The history of Paradigm University is in many respects the history of most universities. Paradigm, as its name suggests, is a model of university development in the United States between the foundation of the nation and the end of the 20th century. As the mission of higher education evolved over two centuries, so did the physical form of learning institutions. The idea behind Paradigm University is to provide a series of comparable images which depict the growth of a typical institution over the course of 200 years.
