HUMAN ECOLOGY ATTRACTS NEW STUDENTS The human ecology focus of a COA education proved to be a strong attrac- tion for this year's new students. "Liberal arts teaches you a little of each subject, but it doesn't stress tying pieces together. That's where Human Ecology comes in," says Tom Davis, a new transfer student at COA. Tired of having his educational program dictated to him, Tom trans- ferred to COA. "Here I can make my own program, and that's exactly what I need to do."
