Business Education
The BELL project is a three-year effort to determine how educators can help ensure that undergraduate students who major in business and other professional fields also gain the benefits of a strong liberal arts education.
Scholarship of Teaching & Learning
CASTL represents a major initiative of The Carnegie Foundation. Launched in 1998, the program builds on a conception of teaching as scholarly work proposed in the 1990 report, Scholarship Reconsidered, by former Carnegie Foundation President Ernest Boyer, and on the 1997 follow-up publication, Scholarship Assessed, by Charles Glassick, Mary Taylor Huber, and Gene Maeroff.
Education Doctorate
The Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED) is a three-year effort sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation and the Council of Academic Deans in Research Education Institutions to strengthen the education doctorate. The participating colleges and universities have committed themselves to working together to undertake a critical examination of the doctorate in education with a particular focus on the highest degree that leads to careers in professional practice. The intent of the project is to redesign and transform doctoral education for the advanced preparation of school practitioners and clinical faculty, academic leaders and professional staff for the nation's schools and colleges and the organizations that support them.
Medical Education
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has played a historic role in the study of medical education dating back to the Flexner Report of 1910. Today the Foundation continues its leadership role in the scholarship of teaching by conducting the Preparation of the Professions Program in six fields: clergy, engineers, lawyers, nurses, physicians and teachers. These studies investigate which curricular structures, instructional practices, assessment approaches and environmental/institutional characteristics optimally support the development of professionals-in-training.
Nursing Education
In its study of nursing education, the Foundation seeks to understand the demands of learning to be a nurse and the most effective strategies for teaching nursing. As part of Carnegie’s Preparation for the Professions Program (PPP), this study takes a comparative perspective to the issues of teaching, learning, assessment, and curriculum in nursing education.
