论坛大多讨论研究生申请,很少关注美国的本科教育,以前转发过一篇关于LAC的帖子,太长了。我觉得美国的本科教育理念值得学习。
今天看到的UCSB的College of Creative Studies,非常有特色。

The philosophy of the College of Creative Studies is that certain undergraduate students are capable of rigorously exploring and adding to their chosen field of knowledge. Students skip introductory courses as appropriate and are encouraged to accomplish original work throughout their time at the College: Literature students compile a portfolio of writing, art students put on a minimum of two shows displaying their work, music students perform their own compositions, and science students enter labs by their sophomore years to conduct research and write scholarly papers for publication.

The College considers students to be the most important people involved, not the faculty or administration. It has a low student-teacher ratio, and each student is paired with a faculty adviser with whom they meet at least once a quarter.

今年诺贝尔生理学医学奖其中一位得主Carol W. Greider (CCS Biology '83) 出自该学院。
