What is the value of a liberal arts education (12A)

What is the value of a liberal arts education?

Coming into Southern Connecticut State University I was not too sure what a liber arts class was. I have heard people speaking about it but I still did not know what it was. In result of reading the readings for this week I have learned that a liberal arts education is a basic education. Taking a liberal arts class broadens your schedule. Liberal is progressive vs. conservative, which is traditional. By taking liberal art classes you will be taking classes that don’t have to do with your major. In result of taking liberal art classes you expand your knowledge, person growth and have new experiences. You can enhance more skills that will help you in the future. A liberal arts education provides students with more knowledge than just their specific area of study or work field knowledge. While trying to seek a job employers hire the people who are going to bring more innovation into the workplace.  With a liberal arts education you will be able to do this.  Employers also seek it because the skills are helpful to adapting with changes in a workplace and make you capable of working and speaking with others. I personally found that a liber arts education was pointless before learning about the positives you gives you. As my first year in college I was expecting for myself to take only classes that were towards my major and nothing else. Now that we have been learning about the importance of a liberal arts education I am now going to try and incorporate a liberal arts class into my schedule whenever I have an opening to help for my future and expand my skills.
