Definition(s)

  • Liberal education curriculum is a course of study of exemplary intellectual and artistic works across the disciplines, including history, philosophy, literature, fine arts, mathematics, and science. Proponents of liberal education believe that when individuals attain deep understanding of age-old existential quandaries, they will become well rounded, moral, and wise; moreover, they will become liberated from living merely by habit and unexamined belief.
