Isn liberal arts education an old-fashioned idea?
No. Liberal arts education is more vital than ever in the 21st century. On average, people now change careers six times. And problems have become more complex, with the best solutions often requiring knowledge of multiple academic disciplines. Learning a specific trade is the old-fashioned idea. It is rare that a person can practice a particular trade throughout his/her lifetime. Today’s students are much better served by pursuing a general education that prepares them to meet the endless challenges of a rapidly changing world.
