[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, when I say 98% of people graduate with a liberal arts education, I mean exactly what you said -- most of them have a core liberal arts set of classes that are required, then they add their major classes.

I went to Georgetown SFS and didn't have a liberal arts core. That's why I have a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service. I don't have a BA or BS degree.

Liberal arts, as is stated in the definition above, is not limited to "English majors reading Middlemarch." [/quote]

You literally just stated that you have a Bachelor of Science. 
That’s a BS degree. [/quote]

No. I have a BSFS. It’s different. I did not complete a liberal arts core. I had no math or science requirement, for example. Instead I had to take 4 quarters of econ.[/quote]

The titles BA and BS do not imply a liberal arts core, but rather only that the degree is an undergraduate degree. 
Degree requirements are very school specific, and vary widely between colleges and majors. 
At my daughters college, the business students only complete a business core and receive a BS degree. She will be receiving a BA degree without a single English, history, arts, or science course because of the honors program she is in. [/quote]
