Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College
"Next Steps" in the "National Study of Liberal Arts Education"

$50,000 over 12 months. The Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts is in the pilot phase of a national, multi-institution, longitudinal study on liberal arts education (the full study will commence with a planning phase in August, 2005, then formally, in August, 2006). This project aims to understand the institutional conditions and teaching practices that promote the development of seven liberal arts outcomes (effective reasoning and problem solving, inclination to inquire and lifelong learning, intercultural effectiveness, integration of learning, leadership, moral character, and well-being) and to create institutionally useful and faculty-friendly methods of measuring these outcomes.
