What is a college of Liberal Arts and Sciences?
A private college of the Liberal Arts and Sciences which confers the Bachelor of Arts degree (BA) is a type of institution that exists only in the United States. These institutions are based on the idea that to successfully participate in the global workplace students need to have studied across a broad spectrum of subjects. They must be able to think critically and see the connections between disciplines in both the sciences and the humanities. This program of study offers both breadth and depth. A degree from a rigorous college of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the preferred preparation for students wishing to enter competitive graduate programs in business, medicine, doctoral research or law. Most prominent corporate executives and international political figures have graduated from a college of liberal art and sciences.
