[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are idiots if we starve the liberal arts. The obsession with creating worker bees for companies instead of fostering a well-rounded education is bonkers. [/quote] Two issues with this statement: - Well rounded people also become worker bees. Just because someone has a "well rounded" degree in art history does not mean they are going to magically become the CEO of a business. - Almost all bachelor degrees require gen ed. which creates well rounded people. Example - Penn State, all majors require 45 gen ed credits: Credits - Requirement 9 - Writing/Speaking 6 - Quantification 3 - Health and Wellness 6 - Natural Sciences 3 - Arts 3 - Humanities 3 - Social and Behavioral Sciences 6 - Inter-Domain courses 3 - United States Cultures 3 - International Cultures Plus 6 more that can fall into Natural Sciences, Arts, Humanities or Social and Behavioral Sciences.[/quote]
