- Authors

- Abstract
This article reports on a curriculum planning technique specifically designed for developing interdisciplinarynary programs based on existing programs in comprehensive universities. It was tested in developing a possible agricultural communication curriculum at Southern Illinois University at Carbondale. It relied on an adaptation of a previously described and widely tested planning and prediction instrument known as the Delphi. The Delphi research method was developed by the Rand Corporation as a tool for prediction. It has been adapted to many uses. One use, in which a group of experts is solicited for ideas and comments on a topic, has been called the Policy Delphi. The process allows a group of persons from varying backgrounds to work together without limitations of personality, background and fears of cross-disciplinary ignorance.
