[Alumni-chat] Antioch Interdisciplinary First Year Curriculum

[Robert Devine]

Patrick,

I'm guessing from your gloss that you don't know much about the program
that the faculty put in place.  The integration of experience, both co-op
and community service, the co-op communities, the "place as text"
coursework, the on-line courses and the variety of strategies faculty have
used to bridge and integrate the disciplines in the Core courses make our
program anything but "a half-assed copy of Evergreen College's core
programs".  Don't forget that Antioch's co-op program was at first
considered a "copy" of existing pre-professional cooperative work
programs.  In hindsight that proved to be a shallow assessment.

Bob
