Many experimental higher education programs have emerged in the past decade as an attempt to answer the educational needs of new students in higher education and the manpower requirements of society. New techniques of instruction, curriculum and governance have evolved and new ways of managing human, plant, and financial resources have been pursued. The National Symposium on Experimental Higher Education, of which this document is a report, sought to identify what kinds of experimental programs are in operation, what problems they have encountered, and what answers have evolved for the benefit of higher education as a whole. Presentations and panels at the Symposium included: (1) New Enterprises in Higher Education: Evaluation of Innovation; (2) Evaluation of Experimental Higher Education; (3) Power and Decisionmaking in Experimental Colleges; (4) The Dynamics of Interdisciplinary Departments and Problem Solving as a Teaching Techniques; (5) Minority Students and the Experimental College; (6) Off-Campus Education; (7) Cooperative Education Programs; (8) Alternatives for Financing Higher Education; and (9) Participative Education.
