ABOUT A LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION
The liberal arts provide a well-rounded education and a range of intellectual skills rather than a narrow, professional or technical education. It’s an education that provides an overview of the arts, humanities, social sciences, mathematics and natural sciences.
This approach emphasizes broad knowledge of the wider world. It offers a chance to explore a variety of academic disciplines rather than follow a specific set of courses that train students for a single career track.
Why are the liberal arts so valuable?
The value of a liberal arts education is backed up byfacts and statistics. Here are just a few:
- The earning power of liberal arts grads increases 78% from graduation to retirement; this is a higher rate than non-liberal arts graduates
- At peak earning age (56-60) liberal arts graduates earned an average of $2,000 more per year than those who majored as undergrads in professional fields
- The Wall Street Journal reports that liberal arts degrees are preferred for CEOs
- One in three Fortune 500 CEOs hold degrees in liberal arts
- 17% of PhD holders earned undergraduate degrees at liberal arts colleges, but only 8% of all bachelor’s degree holders earned their degree at liberal arts colleges
