Tóm tắt

Recent critics of higher education have attacked professional education, contending that it is to blame for the erosion of liberal learning in our colleges and universities. Calling for a return to the ‘great books’ approach, they encourage a schism within an already fragmented system of higher learning. This article offers a cluster course model of education which is designed to integrate rather than separate the various academic disciplines while preserving what is unique to each. Seven rules of clustering are explained with examples from a successful experiment over the past five years at Babson College in Massachusetts, USA. Although the cluster model can be applied to any set of diverse academic subjects, it is especially valuable in blending liberal education and professional education to attain what Plato in The Republic presents as the most valuable kind of goodness. © 1971, Taylor & Francis Group.
