Liberal arts college
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Liberal arts university)
Liberal arts colleges are primarily colleges with an emphasis upon undergraduate study in the liberal arts. The Encyclopædia Britannica Concise offers the following definition of the liberal arts as a, "college or university curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing general intellectual capacities, in contrast to a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum." [1] Although the genesis for what is known today as the liberal arts college began in Europe, [2] the term is commonly associated with the United States. Liberal arts colleges are found in countries all over the world as well.
