Upper-Level Mathematics and Statistics Courses Shared across Campuses

For undergraduate students of advanced mathematics and statistics, the liberal arts model offers a deep level of engagement in learning with faculty and peers. Due to practical limitations, small colleges cannot usually offer the breadth of courses available at large institutions with graduate programs. To explore collaborative models that may help enrich curricular offerings, faculty and technologists from several leading liberal arts colleges are experimenting with a consortial hybrid/online course-sharing model. The goal of this chapter is to report on what we learned from teaching three different courses in this context.
