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.

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

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

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.

And, rather than viewing AI and the liberal arts as competing priorities, Denison sees them as complementary.

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