Experimental College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Experimental College (also known as the Ex College or Ex-College), is a college of Tufts University, located in Medford, Massachusetts. The college was founded to expand the offerings of the undergraduate course curriculum.
Students are afforded the opportunity to take new and interesting courses, as well as propose and teach their own. While wide-ranging, the courses tend to involve issues of current importance and/or interdisciplinary subject areas that do not significantly overlap what's being offered in the traditional departments. They are also intended to be discussion-based and participatory in nature. Interactive and collaborative teaching methods are strongly encouraged, and many instructors have incorporated such dynamic elements in their teaching as small-group work, case-study method, role-playing, simulations, and service learning.
