Room for Your View: Diversity in Unity’s Curriculum By Amy Knisley, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
When a student comes to college, what is she or he coming for? It’s sometimes suggested that there are as many answers to this question as there are students coming to college. But that’s a pretty unhelpful answer for those who seek to understand the matter. College is different things to different people, and colleges do vary considerably one from another. But all colleges have one fundamental, crucial trait in common: they have a curriculum. You can have a college without residence halls and athletic teams, you can have a college without financial aid and student clubs. Colleges don’t have to have buildings, or even be accredited, to be colleges. But you can’t have a college without a curriculum.
