THE LIBERAL ARTS

• In a world where todays knowledge so
  easily becomes yesterdays news, a liberal arts
  education thrives. What kind of education is
  this? Invaluable. What will it teach. Skills and
  tools for a lifetime of learning and success.
• In studying the liberal arts, students gain
  the knowledge of how to ask the right questions
  about any topic or issue. They become well versed
  in the methods and sources used in research
  across all disciplines. They develop the ability
  to think critically, forming their own ideas and
  opinions about topics that were once foreign to
  them. They learn a greater aptitude for speaking
  and writing effectively.
• Liberal arts students are among the most
  marketable college graduate in training. Hiring
  managers at major corporations repeatedly praise
  the liberal arts for the broad-based foundation
  of knowledge and the wide range of experiences it
  offers.
