Abstract | "What Will They Learn?" has been documenting for the last 13 years the crisis of weak core curriculum requirements. In addition to helping students choose the right college for the right reasons, American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) works with college and university leaders on campuses around the country to strengthen curricula and raise academic standards. The printed report and its companion website WhatWillTheyLearn.com, represent the only assessment of U.S. colleges and universities that focuses on what schools are actually teaching. The report assigns grades to over 1,100 colleges and universities on an "A" through "F" scale so that families know, in advance, just how serious an institution is about providing a rigorous core curriculum. Trustees, faculty members, administrators, policymakers, donors, students, parents, and high school counselors all play crucial roles in shaping American higher education. "What Will They Learn?"® is designed to help each constituency better understand the importance of a robust core curriculum, how to identify schools dedicated to preparing students for career and citizenship, and what each group can do to promote academic excellence at the nation's colleges and universities.
