Adult Liberal Studies Course Development Project

FAIN: EP-*1199-78

University of Massachusetts, Amherst (Amherst, MA 01003-9242)
Frederick Robinson (Project Director: January 1979 to October 1990)

The objective of this program—aside from a determination to offer quality humanistic education to "non-traditional" students—is to extend the professional resources of the academic community (which consists of 5 separate institutions) to the residents of the entire region. Each of the 6 course-development projects will require 2 semesters: one to plan and one to teach. Entire project—using extension sites, variable schedules and teaching strategies—should be completed by spring, 1980.
