This publication describes a program at the University of New Hampshire called Life Studies. The Life Studies program is designed for freshman and sophomore students and was begun because of complaints voiced about lack of relevance in the freshman and sophomore curricula. The program is interdisciplinary in nature and is specifically designed to be taught within a loose structure. The main classes are workshops and seminars where students and teachers alike are present to learn. Life Studies intends to be a community of teachers and students who care about one another and who care about fostering the delicate process of learning. (HS)
