Abstract	Since 1970, in response to a variety of external and internal pressures, many postsecondary institutions have undertaken projects to improve the quality of undergraduate education by rethinking what is involved in a liberal education and revising the process as well as the content of the education they offer. Innovative programs, instructional improvement centers, curricular changes, and faculty development projects have emerged. This essay summarizes the findings of a team of educators who visited eight liberal arts colleges that have received outside funds for institutional renewal. The authors studied the factors that encourage and inhibit institutional renewal, the strategies that seem most effective in bringing it about, and the evidence that exists when it has occurred, and have recorded observations and conclusions that may have relevance for other institutions and educators seeking to improve the quality of undergraduate education.
