Description: This is the first COA academic catalog. "This catalogue is the result of two years of planning and thought. In many ways it is just a beginning. We are proposing a new direction in higher education, based on the changing needs of our social and natural environment. College of the Atlantic is a mission-oriented institution. We espouse a broadly-based education as a means of providing the necessary perspective for the study and understanding of human ecology. The program is problem centered, but is designed to utilize the thought and research generated by theoretical study." [show more]
