Overview of Our Research

The Institute seeks to encourage discussion and debate on the growing global role and significance of liberal arts education. Desiderata in this regard include the creation of a website that would offer access to and facilitate communication among institutions of higher education around the world that have introduced liberal arts education or are planning to do so. Links to a number of such programs are included in this website. As we are able, we will expand this portion of the site.

We are also interested in exploring new forms of assessment and evaluation that have the potential to document attitudinal, psychological, and cognitive changes in the young people from different cultures who participate in our intensive, immersive, international joint programs.
