Are the liberal arts taught differently at Eastern?
At Eastern, our liberal arts courses are taught in small class settings that allow close faculty-student interaction and provide opportunities for students to learn independently and in teams. In addition, a liberal arts education emphasizes discussion and inquiry, a learning style not always possible in the large lecture hall settings found at larger universities. Students in Eastern’s liberal arts core also are required to develop their own independent projects, ranging from artistic performances, to independent research, to working in an internship setting as part of a “capstone” or culminating course.
