Not all colleges. That's one place where choice comes in. I have a
degree from Goddard College, which have assign grades, homework,
textbooks, or set curricula. Students work with faculty advisors who
help them shape their plan for their degree and their semester,
within broad degree areas. For on-campus students (I did a low-
residency degree), faculty offer seminars in areas they're interested
in, or work out seminar topics with students. Attendance is voluntary.

But of course I meant, "which does not have grades, homework,
textbooks, or set curricula."

Sigh.
