Assembly LXI: The Undergraduate Curriculum at Yale
Thursday, October 24 - Saturday, October 26, 2002
Assembly Chair Marc B. Lockhart '84

“What will a Yale College student need to know upon graduation, and how can Yale ensure that its undergraduates are provided with the best preparation for the future?”

This fall, the Assembly examined the Yale College curriculum in collaboration with the Yale College Dean’s Office. Delegates were asked to complete a Homework Assignment to stimulate critical thinking about the Yale College curriculum.

Last year President Levin appointed Dean Brodhead to chair the first full review of the Yale College curriculum in three decades.Dean Brodhead’s working group has consulted broadly with faculty, students and administrators. During the Fall Assembly, Dean Brodhead and key committee members will brief AYA delegates on their progress to date, lead an exercise in choosing the “ideal” course of study, then ask delegates to reflect in open forum on the principles and practices that should guide an undergraduate course of study at Yale.
