An experimental program in biology for non‐specialists was introduced at the University of Buenos Aires in 1968. Since the students for whom it is intended are in humanities, the course centers on man in relation to the universe. The course is made up of six fundamental units which are taught in classes but which are supplemented with reading and with group discussions directed by trained graduate instructors. Results are being evaluated and further innovations are being made.
