The other curriculum ‘Most scholars who study the impact of college on students agree that what happens outside the classroom - the other curriculum - can contribute to valued outcomes of college.’ ‘For about 40 percent of students, the do-it-yourself side of college [what took place outside the classroom] was the most significant educational experience.’ Kuh, G. D., The Journal of Higher Education, Vol. 66, No. 2 (Mar. - Apr., 1995), pp Moffatt, M. Coming of Age in New Jersey: College and American Culture. New Brunswick, N.J.: Rutgers University Press, 1988.

The other curriculum ‘Participation in extracurricular activities has been a more accurate predictor of workplace competence than grades.‘ ‘Colleges cannot force students to participate in organized campus activities or perform leadership roles. However, they can and should be accountable for creating the conditions that promote such behaviour.’ Howard, A. "College Experiences and Managerial Performance." Journal of Applied Psychology, 71 (1986), Kuh, G. D., The Journal of Higher Education, Vol. 66, No. 2 (Mar. - Apr., 1995), pp
