The Experimental College, often shortened to simply the EC, was founded in 1966 as part of a movement of Experimental Colleges on university campuses to bring alternative voices to the University culture. They strive to provide a forum for learning and an outlet for individuals to share their interests and skills in an informal, cooperative setting. They do this through holding courses every quarter and through managing a community garden and a library. Open to community members and students alike, the ASUCD Experimental College provides classes that you wouldn't normally find in the UCD class Catalog. From dance to yoga to languages to music classes, massage and spirituality.
Their web page contains an online catalog which is posted at the same time the print catalog is published (around 3 weeks before each quarter begins). It is updated regularly, and contains current, correct information, including current enrollment, regarding all courses. Courses are not taught for credit but the EC has recently made it possible for students to teach classes themselves for transcript notation. If this is something you, or somebody you know might be interested in, please contact the office manager for more info!
The Experimental College lounge and library are open for people to study, eat, and socialize! The EC also offers community garden plots and an open library. The Experimental College shares an office with the Whole Earth Festival; located at 260 South Silo above the Silo Bookstore.
