A liberal arts education prepares students with skills that are in high demand across all industries, including critical thinking, analytical reasoning, problem solving, teamwork, strong communication and ethical judgment. Employers want to hire problem-solvers who think critically and creatively, skills that make liberal arts graduates stand out in today’s job market.
When taking on today’s social, business and technological problems, it’s not just about the skills you have, but how you think. The world needs people who approach a challenge through the lens of its human context—something that liberal arts graduates are uniquely prepared to do.
Don't just take our word for it: 88% of our 2021 liberal arts graduates were employed or enrolled in further education within six months of graduation, which is higher than the national average career outcomes rate of all college graduates.
