Idea Lab: Academic Overhauls

Revamping a curriculum or academic program is never easy. All too often traditions must be upended and entrenched practices challenged.

To help college leaders make such big changes a success, The Chronicle’s editors have pulled together this collection of articles and essays from the Idea Lab, our section on solving problems in academe. It includes tips and lessons on:

• How to avoid a quagmire during a curricular overhaul
• How to keep an academic program current with the job market
• Ways to ease the pain of shutting down a program
• How colleges are rethinking their offerings to appeal more to today’s students
