Kalamazoo College is a selective, liberal arts college located in Kalamazoo, Michigan with total enrollment of approximately 1200 students. The academic calendar is comprised of three 10-week quarters, each of which is followed by one week for final examinations. Kalamazoo College is distinguished by its four-fold academic program known as the "K-Plan": (1) Rigorous liberal arts coursework, (2) study abroad, (3) career development, and (4) the senior individualized project. With the inception of the K-Plan over 40 years ago, experiential education has long characterized the College student experience, especially with respect to the last three components listed above. Over the past ten years, the on-campus experience of Kalamazoo College students has also become more experiential in nature as a substantial proportion of courses now have significant service-learning components.
