What is a liberal arts college?
We’re kind of a big deal among national liberal arts colleges, ranking in the top 100. But what does that even mean? The term’s root in Latin is “Liberalis ars” or “free principled practice.” A graduate from a liberal arts college will be well-versed in a wide-ranging curriculum that spans across the sciences (both natural and social), humanities (any academic subject that studies human society and culture), and yes, the creative arts. It is an approach toward a holistic education that prepares you for a life’s worth of careers and instills skills and characteristics that employers say make for an effective employee right out of college.
The flexibility of the block plan lends itself to changing direction quickly when the one course you are studying changes with every 18-day block. Try a psychology course or kinesiology course or a physics course. Which one interests you the most? You won’t declare your major until your sophomore year. Of course, your chance to explore doesn’t end after you declare your major either.
