¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ's Approach to a Liberal Arts Education
A traditional strength of ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ is its emphasis on liberal education. ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ was founded on the belief that a liberal education provides the best possible framework for life in a changing world. The emphasis on liberal studies continues today and is referred to as the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Plan for Liberal Education, or the Global ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Plan.
What is a liberal education?
Engaging in a liberal education has nothing to do with a particular political view; it means having a broad foundation of knowledge. Here, it means ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ requires all students to take classes outside of their major.
A liberal education complements specialized studies in your student's major and provides a broadened context for exploring social, academic, political, and professional choices. It will help your student understand human society by giving them the tools to ask questions, examine assumptions, exchange views with others, and become a better global citizen.
Learn more about the ¾Ã¾ÃË®ÃÛÌÒ Plan on the Liberal Education website.
