Senator Collins on "coin-operated colleges"

The program summary details all of the work done to earn the degree.

UI&U does not offer "courses." Each learner's program is made up of the following components:

Residencies (Entry Colloquium, Seminars, Peer Days)
Major Learning Areas (what would be coursework in other programs)
Internship (at least 500 hours)
Personal Growth
Project Demonstrating Excellence (usually a dissertation)

The Program Summary documents all of this, and includes a hefty Reflection and Analysis section. But it also describes each of the above activities, what was learned and how, resources used, methods for demonstrating proficiency, evaluation methods, and who did the evaluations. Examples of learning accomplished can also be included, which can make the document quite large.

It is not as simple as taking some courses and writing a dissertation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Rich. Sounds like a good program. It's too bad more universities don't follow this model.
