Malcolm X remarked that "e;education is the passport of the future."e; This book, developed for aspiring and forward-thinking college students, identifies future careers and future skill sets for the global marketplace and workspaces on the horizon. These future careers include occupations in artificial intelligence, information technology, wearables, virtual reality, genomics, cryptocurrencies, connected homes and others. The skill sets presented include complex problem solving, critical thinking, emotional intelligence, cognitive flexibility, detail orientation, creativity, and others anticipating future competencies. The concepts of factual knowledge, conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and meta-cognitive knowledge are also discussed to foster the undergraduate learning experience in American higher education.

Higher education is undergoing profound change at an unprecedented pace in today's academic marketplace. This accelerating and precipitating change has motivated the authors of this volume to read well-chosen publications about meeting demands and responding to needs among America's historically Black universities and colleges.
