- Title
In Search of Curricular Coherence.

- Abstract
In fall 2013, The Teagle Foundation issued an RFP inviting selected institutions and organizations to apply for grants that addressed the following question: “How can faculty work together to create a more coherent and intentional curriculum whose goals, pathways, and outcomes are clear to students and other constituencies with a stake in the future of higher education?” The grant initiative sought to “support campus initiatives that delve deep into the structure of the curriculum and make transparent to students what they can expect to learn and how the curriculum’s architecture delivers this learning.” A total of 15 implementation grants were funded under the Faculty Planning and Curricular Coherence initiative between May 2014 and May 2018. This essay is based on an evaluation of four of the early grants in this initiative, involving 12 institutions: (a) Oberlin College, College of Wooster, Ohio Wesleyan University, Kenyon College, Denison University, and Allegheny College; (b) Virginia Wesleyan University, Davis & Elkins College, Shenandoah University, and Eckerd College; (c) San Francisco State University; and (d) Pomona College, Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, Pitzer College, and Scripps College (i.e., The Claremont Colleges). The author reviewed proposals, annual project reports, and related documentation; conducted annual phone calls with representatives of each participating campus; attended the April 2017 convening of the institutions participating in this initiative; and visited selected campuses.
