Mark Van Doren, the noted literary scholar, once remarked, "The
college is meaningless without a curriculum, but it is more so when
it has one that is meaningless." Many current critics of
undergraduate curricula in America assent to the crucial need for
programmatic renewal in our colleges and universities. They bemoan
the cookie-cutter sameness in far too many of them. The oddity is
that U.S. colleges have long touted their "diversity" while largely
holding fast to rather traditional pathways. This illuminating
volume goes beyond formulaic nuts-and-bolts recipes for
constructing curriculum: it seeks to interpret and analyze the
contemporary landscape of college curriculum. Yet it also hopes to
heighten pedagogic horizons in more imaginative, innovative ways by
presenting actual curricula from more distinctive academic
offerings. This book will stimulate vitally needed "out-of-the-box"
thinking about curricula among faculty, administrators, and
students, and ultimately invite the emergence of more radically
diverse visions and realities for today's college curriculum.
