Abstract

This chapter will provide an overview of the formation and implementation of the new Skills and Values Core Curriculum at Flagler College. It will discuss the emergence of the ideas that led to an ambitious and innovative Core Curriculum at the institution – from the strategic plan of the College, to several AACU workshops and meetings, to faculty roundtables and meetings. An examination of the shared governance process that led to acceptance and implementation of the curriculum will provide ideas and guidance to other institutions. It will detail the implementation of the interdisciplinary curriculum, participation of the faculty, design of dozens of new classes. Finally, it will describe the unanticipated impact of the Core in helping secure state funding for Classical and Liberal Education that has supported the hiring of new faculty and growth of the program.
