The Council on Learning Project on Undergraduate Education

The Council on Learning's Education and the World View (E and WV) project was conceived in the face of changed world circumstances that do not appear to be properly reflected in the American undergraduate curriculum. The E and WV project is surveying feasible and effective programs in international and global studies across the country, assessing what college freshmen and seniors know about the world, and, in its catalytic role in higher education, helping point the academic community and concerned leaders toward what is feasible and necessary for under graduate learning about the world. Because of the highly pluralistic nature of undergraduate education in the United States, its success in reaching its goals stresses the use of the intelligent and innovative eye of college and university faculty and the concern of administrators in the mainstream of the educational endeavor. By use of exemplary programs, a data base about college student global knowledge, and a series of publications on the findings, the E and WV project will provide the academic community with the tools that can be used in individual situations on particular campuses to remedy the present state of affairs and prepare a young citizenry that can survive in tomorrow's world, the Global Century
