The chief aim of cooperation has always been "to protect or increase quality, sustain vitality, and ensure access to a broad and diverse curriculum."* Cooperation in the academic sphere is no exception. The forms are varied, ranging from two Five College Departments, interdisciplinary programs and certificates to Five College centers and standing committees or councils that work to coordinate the curriculum in some disciplines. Each has been shaped by groups of faculty who regard cooperation as a vehicle for enhancing or sustaining the offerings in a field or discipline.

*From the Articles of Organization, July 1965
