Two courses, ‘Weekend College’ and ‘Learn & Shop’, introduced in 1976 and 1979 respectively at Indiana University‐Purdue University at Indianapolis, extend the availability of higher education to a wider audience by being offered during weekends and at suburban shopping centres. The geography students who enrol in these programmes, in contrast with those in the traditional geography programme, generally are older, married, and female. Non‐white students enrol in greater numbers in the ‘Weekend College’ than in the traditional programme. Introductory geography courses are more frequently offered. In comparison with the students in the traditional programme, the older students in the ‘College’ are highly motivated and receive higher grades. The declining student enrolment trends of American universities are offset at IUPUI by Weekend College’ and ‘Learn & Shop’
