Trying Hard: Interdisciplinary Programs at the Evergreen State College

Levensky, Mark

Alternative Higher Education, 2, 1, 41-6, F 77

Experience at Evergreen has shown that it is possible to make interdisciplinary programs work well and to do so at an undergraduate, open-admission, liberal arts state college. About one-third of the students are enrolled in a full-time interdisciplinary program of 40 to 90 students, staffed by two to five faculty members. (Editor/LBH)
