National Study of Liberal Arts Education

The Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College is seeking
institutions for participation in the National Study of Liberal Arts
Education,
a large-scale, longitudinal study to investigate critical factors that
affect
the outcomes of liberal arts education.  This is one of the most
comprehensive
national studies of the effects of American higher education on student
learning
and development ever conducted.  The Center's research will help
colleges and
universities improve student learning and enhance the educational impact
of
their programs.  One of the fundamental goals of this research is to
create
faculty-friendly and institutionally-useful assessment for outcomes such
as
effective reasoning and problem solving, inclination to inquire and
lifelong
learning, integration of learning, intercultural effectiveness,
leadership,
moral character, and well-being.  Research universities, regional
universities,
liberal arts colleges, community colleges, and other higher education
institutions are encouraged to apply.  There is no fee for institutional
participation in the study.

For additional information about the study and application forms, please
