In addition, the program seeks to alter the educational pattern of the'institutions*involved by changing blocks pf courses rdther.than by developing single cOurses. In this sense, the Thirteen College Curriculum Program is "viewed not only as a curriculum program with a consistent set of-academic goals for the separate courses, but also as a vehicle to produce new and pertinent educational' changes within the consortium institutions.
