[quote=Anonymous]Definitely aim for a liberal education - whether it is at a liberal arts college or a large university. Students need to develop skills that will serve them in a career that will span a lot of jobs - skills like critical thinking, written & oral communication, problem-solving, etc. People who use college as a place to train for a particular job wind up short-changed in the long term. The best thing is to get a well-rounded, broad education that focuses on a set of key learning outcomes, includes in-depth study in a particular field (engineering, mathematics, english, etc.) AND also to seek out institutions that offer a lot of hands-on, applied learning opportunities - internships, service-learning, learning communities, research opportunities, etc.[/quote]
