Cooperative Education within a Liberal Arts Tradition.
Abstract
The authors argue that the combination of a liberal arts classroom curriculum and a cooperative education program is a powerful one to prepare students for the workplace. Data are presented from a lifespan study of graduates of Antioch College's program to support the idea that skill development is possible in areas found lacking in college graduates by business leaders. The findings are interpreted as supporting several theories of how learning happens outside the classroom. Both secondary and post-secondary educators are encouraged to promote a variety of types of outside-the-classroom, work-based learning experiences for students.
