COA

College of the Atlantic was founded in 1969 based on a unique idea: human ecology. A human-ecological perspective explores the relationships between humans and our environments, and stems from the premise that the world's most pressing problems require solutions that cross the boundaries of academic disciplines and seek fresh combinations of ideas. Our approach is interdisciplinary and experiential, and encourages students not just to investigate complex issues, but also to work collaboratively for positive change... At COA you hold in your own hands the freedom, and responsibility, of building your educational path. Each student designs their own course of study, pursuing their unique interests and goals through a wide range of classes across the sciences, arts, humanities, and social sciences. At COA, you don't have to choose just one area of study; in fact, we hope you'll pull together different disciplines and get excited about the surprising connections between them... A COA..
