Forty-eight colleges and universities and their 140 degree programs are described in a compilation derived from catalogs, task force reports, and other sources. Criteria identified as necessary for establishment of an innovative graduate program include: significant student participation in degree program planning; abolition of formal residency requirements; accreditation of prior learning experiences; wide use of internships, work-study, practicums, etc.; emphasis on independent, individualized study; commitment to interdisciplinary/interdepartmental programs; generally liberalized grading and degree requirements; and/or a noticeable shift from studies in traditional academic disciplines to more career-oriented, public service type programs. Schools are listed in alphabetical order, and a subject index is included that lists each graduate program field. (LBH)
