Consider this the “quote of the day.” It is from an article on the Liberal Arts in Inside Higher Ed by Richard A. Greenwald:
“The liberal arts always situate graduates on the road for success. More Fortune 500 CEOs have had liberal arts B.A.s than professional degrees. The same is true of doctors and lawyers. And we know the road to research science most often comes through a liberal arts experience. Now more than ever, as employment patterns seem to be changing, we need to engage the public on the value of a liberal arts degree in a more forceful and deliberate way.”
The title of the article is “Liberal Arts II: The Economy Requires Them” and it is a companion piece to “Liberal Arts I: They Keep Chugging Along” also in today’s Inside Higher Ed.
