Many people just have no interest in literature, poetry, art, or any of the humanities. Hopefully HS will at least expose them to that. In modern usage, the term "liberal arts" includes course of study that lead to degrees in many fields, including linguistics, language, math, psychology, various fields of science and of course studies in literature, history, philosophy, art, religion and many others. Most who get a degree in the so-called liberal arts expect to and actually do go on to graduate school for a master's and possibly a doctorate. Liberal arts grads get either degrees in the "arts" or the "sciences." For most students, the degree sought is consider no more than an entree into a field or profession. As an example, it's doubtful you could get even a decent entry level job in "psychology" without a master's degree. If he's going for a degree in math, he's got to start with math - or add a few semesters for wasting his time. Salmonbait -- 'Name-calling'...the liberals' last resort. Math is considered one of the liberal arts. |
