NCF made headlines after they skyrocketed from an \u201cF\u201d grade to a \u201cB+\u201d rating in ACTA\u2019s What Will They Learn? Project (WWTL), becoming this year's &quot;most improved school.&quot; WWTL assigns letter grades based on the rigor of the core curriculum at over 1,100 American colleges and universities. This improvement was thanks to a total overhaul of their general education program in 2024. Professor Rohrbacher discusses how that change came about and the innovative academic reforms that engage NCF students in substantive, serious coursework.
