Why does a bachelor’s degree need to take four years and 120 credits? More importantly, what would happen if colleges started with the learning outcomes students actually need and designed backward from there?In Part 1 of our conversation with Dr. Lori Carrell, Chancellor of the University of Minnesota Rochester and co-founder of the College-in-3 Exchange, we explore the origins of a national movement to rethink the structure of the bachelor’s degree.Lori traces her own path from a curious child growing up in a rural community to professor, higher education reformer, and what she calls an “accidental chancellor.” She explains how her work with Robert Zemsky eventually led to College-in-3 and a growing network of institutions exploring intentionally designed three-year bachelor’s degrees.But this is not simply about cutting 30 credits from an existing degree.Lori argues that the real opportunity is to use research about how people learn, design around meaningful student outcomes, improve completion and career preparation, and make higher education more affordable at the same time.In This EpisodeLori’s journey from rural childhood to university chancellorWhy curiosity and even boredom can be powerful forces for learningHow Lori met Robert ZemskyThe conversations that led to Communicate for a ChangeWhere the original three-year degree idea came fromHow the pandemic helped reopen possibilities for higher education redesignUMR’s faculty design sprint and the prototype for an accelerated degreeWhy a three-year degree cannot simply be a four-year degree with courses removedHow faculty teams across disciplines became early College-in-3 explorersThe role of accreditors and policymakers in making experimentation possibleWhy seat time and learning are not the same thingLori’s critique that higher education values learning research but often fails to implement it at scaleDesigning simultaneously for quality, completion, affordability, and career launchWhat institutions considering three-year degrees should think about firstAbout Lori CarrellLori J.
