Academic Vision Working Group
The Academic Vision Working Group will examine future directions for Harvey Mudd’s academic 项目 in light of the changing composition of our faculty and staff and the global needs of a liberal arts STEM education. In that context, the committee should consider our curriculum, 项目, and the needs and interests expected of our future students.
Focus Questions
- What is and what should be distinctive about Harvey Mudd’s curriculum? Are there new areas that should be developed or existing areas that should be revised?
- What infrastructures are needed to contribute to a positive learning environment?
- How should our curriculum respond to anticipated changes in student demographics, 技术, globalization and developments within and between disciplines?
- What kind of flexibility (in departments and 项目, 在专业, in staffing) might we need to respond to the changing interests and needs of students as well as current and future imbalances in the distribution of students across majors?
- How should we foster and support interdisciplinary 项目, teaching and scholarship?
- How can we better connect our curriculum and academic program to other areas of student life, e.g., residential life, 5C/7C 项目 and community and global engagement?
