In January 1971, faculty members from Amherst, Carleton, Connecticut, Mount Holyoke, Wesleyan University, and Williams Colleges met at the Lord Jeffery Inn in Amherst, Massachusetts, and organized the program. The other AKP institutions joined the consortium between 1973 and 1994. Doshisha University supports AKP in many ways.
