Curricula evolve through a continuing process of change.
As institutions and areas of knowledge develop, so do courses of study and faculty interests. So it must also be today. We are currently living in a time of extraordinary and extraordinarily rapid change. This is signaled in everyday life by the technological advances of computers, e-mail, and instructional technologies, to the globalization of nations and markets, to advances in science and genetics, to the emergence of entirely new fields of scholarly investigation. All of these are transforming our world.
