More on Goddard College
Description from Wikipedia:
Goddard College is a private college located in Plainfield, Vermont, that grants bachelor degrees (BA and BFA) and master degrees (MA and MFA). It uses a self-directed, mentored system of intensive residencies in Plainfield or Port Townsend, Washington.
Residencies require the student's attendance every six months for approximately nine days, during which time the student engages in a variety of activities and lectures from the early morning until quite late in the evening. After the residency, students return home and study independently, sending in "packets" to their faculty mentor every three weeks. The content of the "packets" varies with each individual.
Goddard College was founded by Royce Stanley "Tim" Pitkin, a progressive educator and follower of John Dewey and other, similar proponents of educational democracy. Pitkin conceived of the college as a place for "plain living and hard thinking."
Having narrative transcripts instead of traditional letter grades, as well as learner-designed curricula, Goddard was one of the Union for Experimenting Colleges and Universities, which also included Franconia, Nasson, Antioch, and several other educational institutions.
Goddard also is home to a community radio station that serves central Vermont, broadcasting as, WGDR, 91.1 FM, which is part of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
