This paper reports a study of how educational programs emerge within the university, using both curriculum theory and the more general theory about knowledge production. It discusses both cognitive and social arguments, stresses the necessity to relate the phenomenon of emerging educational programs to status, resource allocation, and power relations, and examines the impact of both individual and collective perspectives.
