| Abstract | The World Forum is a program that gives college students an opportunity to explore a particular problem of personal and/or social consequence in the context of its anticipated alternative futures. A general overview of this program, its characteristics, and an example of it in practice are presented in this paper. The overview tells what the World Forum is, why it emphasizes the future, why it is being proposed, how it is an alternative, if it replaces present curriculum in the Middle Colleges of the United States International University, why it is better, and why it should change at all. The section on special characteristics elaborates the important program features and expectations for students. The role of teamwork, faculty, and information resources are described in this section. An example of the World Forum in practice outlines the typical learning experience as including the following: identification of a particular concern or interest; examination of current trends as expected to affect the future; determination of whether an expected future is desirable; hypothesization of alternative futures; determination of how those respective futures might come to be; and examination of needed interventions in the present so as to evolve toward that desirable future.
