With over 50 years of experience, Dr. Bill Coplin shares his journey from questioning the traditional liberal arts model to pioneering a practical, skill-based approach with host Jason Altmire. Dr. Coplin says the current higher education system fails to serve students, who often view a college degree as something that should serve a direct purpose. He underscores the necessity of aligning coursework with students' interests, promoting experiential education, and emphasizing the need for internships.
Dr. Coplin is the founder and professor of the undergraduate policy studies major at Syracuse University and a prolific writer. He has written over 100 books and articles. His latest book is “The Path to Equity: Inclusion in the Kingdom of Liberal Arts.”
