The Role of Liberal Arts in Your Future


A liberal arts education refers to studies in a college or university intended to provide general knowledge and develop intellectual capacities. A liberal arts education prepares students to work in a variety of jobs. This is different from other types of education where students develop professional or vocational skills for a specific job.

Students with a liberal arts education are prepared for today's evolving world of work. Liberal arts graduates are attractive to employers because they have developed the skills necessary to adapt in an ever-changing workforce. Yet many individuals do not understand what a liberal arts education is, why it is appealing to employers, or how students can prepare for careers related to liberal arts. Read more >>

Who is Learning Online?

Background: There is some evidence that online education appeals to a different type of student from those who do face-to-face instruction. Online students tend to be older, and often hold additional employment and family responsibilities, as compared to the more traditional student. Do these differences mean that online students are taking different level courses or studying at different types of institutions?

The evidence: The population of online students is a close match to the general higher education student body, but the mix of schools at which they study is not.

  • Online students, like the overall student body, are overwhelmingly undergraduates. The proportion of graduate-level students is slightly higher in online education relative to the overall higher education population.
  • Online students, especially undergraduates, are more likely to be studying at Associates institutions than are their face-to-face contemporaries.
