Denison is ranked #4 by US News for Most Innovative Liberal Arts Colleges.
https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/national-liberal-arts-colleges/innovative The article explains how Denison is expanding its curriculum with a new finance major, minors in machine learning & AI and organizational strategy & leadership, and a sports analytics track. https://denison.edu/news-events/featured/160899 And, rather than viewing AI and the liberal arts as competing priorities, Denison sees them as complementary. https://denison.edu/ai |

What about this is innovative? Just sounds like kowtowing to the current trends. |

In what way for Richmond? It’s one of DC’s top choices. |

Basically just a formal institute for them to host a visiting scholar, not Innovative at all. Schools like Harvard have been doing that for more than 2 centuries |

| It seems very few liberal arts colleges are innovating. The ones with unique curriculums (Hampshire, Colorado, etc) are really struggling. I agree with Colby being innovative because it’s really pushing the boundaries of what a liberal arts colleges’ impact should look like. They’re also introducing engineering |

LOL. LACs are hardly innovative. Even the so-called top-rated ones are typical prep-school/boarding school pre-professional vibes.
Maybe Colorado College used to be creative/innovative with the "block semester" or maybe Oxy with it's "campaign or UN semester" but both have their flaws too. |
