6. Subjects
• The study of any one of these areas in depth
can also be referred to as a “liberal arts
education” (for example, a student studying a
BA in Philosophy could be said to be
undertaking a liberal arts education).
Nonetheless, the term is commonly used to
describe academic programmes that aim to
teach students a wide range of disciplines.
7. Flexibility of Liberal Arts
• Liberal Arts give you the flexibility to design your own
degree. For instance, during the Liberal Arts programs,
the students are free to opt for a major in Finance and
select Psychology as a minor. Other students can
choose his/her major Psychology with a minor in
Music.

academic-focused programs such as International
Studies and Psychology, with totally different set of

requires more training such in Mass Media such as
Marketing, Advertising, and Film & TV etc. You can
modify your degree according to your area of interest.

13. Future of Education
• There is no doubt that technical skills and knowledge
will be given preference in the future. However, liberal
arts are shaping the future of education. In the 21st
century, many students pursue more than one course
or discipline at a time to broaden their
horizons, enhance their knowledge and apply
interdisciplinary skills. STEM and other degrees do not
allow this liberty to students. Also, it is easier for liberal
education students to adapt themselves to changing
environments because of real-life skills. Moreover, in
the era of rising uncertainty about jobs and constantly
evolving career dynamics, a degree in this domain will
have ample scope in the future.
