What are the liberal arts?

As you read this article, identify what disciplines your potential majors fall into, how you can benefit from a liberal arts education, and what opportunities you have at Lehman because it is a liberal arts college. You’ll notice that the last section of this article is about the ‘best” liberal arts colleges in the US- which are all private. Pay attention to WHY these schools are good- you’ll see things like study abroad (we offer that here at Lehman!), smaller classes (we have that too!), and the ability to study more than just one topic (we have a strong general education core AND the chance to have a minor).
