FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is ExCo?
ExCo (Experimental College) is a program of student-run, not-for-credit
courses. We try to connect people who share diverse interests in learning
outside the classroom.
Why ExCo?
ExCo began as a resolution passed at Fall Plenary in 1997. The goal of
the program is to enrich our education by allowing us to share our knowledge,
interests, and skills with each other in a cooperative and relaxed environment.
Who gets involved?
ExCo classes are run by members of the Haverford community for members
of the Haverford community. We welcome students, faculty and staff to
participate in ExCo as teachers and students.
How does ExCo work?
ExCo is run by a Committee of students and funded by Students' Council.
To offer a course, teachers send the Committee a description and we help
advertise the course to potential students. We are here for the spirit
of learning; therefore, students do not receive credit and teachers do
not receive pay.
When?
The ExCo committee recruits teachers and students at the beginning of
every quarter. Classes begin the second week of the quarter and run for
5 weeks.
How do I get involved?
Teach a course.
