Interdisciplinary General Education: Questioning Outside the Lines (review)

After a decade teaching a variety of interdisciplinary general education courses, 31 faculty and administrators affiliated with the All University Curriculum (AUC) at the University of Hartford (Connecticut) have assembled accounts of their learning, hopes, and fears in a volume of essays entitled, Interdisciplinary General Education: Outside the Lines. The Hartford experience is worth noting for both its depth and breadth. Since the AUC model was introduced in 1987, the University has offered 60-65 sections of 29 different interdisciplinary general education courses each semester.
