  • Life and Career Preparation Through a Liberal Arts Education Darcie
    Life and Career Preparation through a Liberal Arts Education Darcie Scales Word Count: 1169 History & Geography, Bachelor of Arts The liberal arts experience was the college environment I craved. The small classrooms, distinct learning environments, and focus on collaboration drew me like no other universities. Most importantly, public liberal arts schools, like Georgia College, make it affordable and accessible to achieve such an education. Otherwise, the private universities that dominate the liberal arts can limit the types of people who attend and require students to take on even greater debt. Of course, the most important aspect of any university is the experience within the classroom. Course layouts varied from professor to professor, making each class a new experience. Often, courses were a mixture of lecture, discussion, collaboration, and student-led topics. This lent a more well-rounded experience that is more representative of real collaborations and workplaces. Without my class experiences, I would not feel as prepared to enter graduate school or the workforce. Interdisciplinary classes allowed me to listen to well- crafted, and engaging lectures from my talented professors, and they permitted the opportunity for discussion. Several of my history professors were completely engaging, and they made history and its importance come alive for me. Additionally, many of my professors regularly guided students into discussion during lectures, but they also set aside days just for seminars that allotted time for lively discussions pertaining to the materials. In several of my history classes, we debated how primary sources affected our understanding of events and people, in addition to monographs that enlightened the subjects with others’ research.

  • 1 2. Classical Reception Pedagogy in Liberal Arts Education
    CUCD Bulletin 46 2017 ***Teaching the Classical Reception Revolution*** 2. Classical Reception Pedagogy in Liberal Arts Education Emma Cole University of Bristol iberal Arts degrees, sometimes called Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degrees, represent one of the fastest growing programmes in British universities. 1 The courses aim to L combine a breadth and depth of study, allowing students to gain a broad, interdisciplinary education within the arts and humanities, and sometimes also the social sciences, with a depth of expertise focused around a specific major, or pathway. In addition, they encourage students to build links between their degree and wider culture and society, incorporating internships, language modules, and study abroad trips as the norm rather than the exception and often as credit-bearing, compulsory elements. Interestingly, classicists have played a remarkably prominent role in the development of these courses.2 I myself have taught on two such programmes, and in both instances have used the Liberal Arts remit as a framework for classical reception topics. Here I discuss the pedagogical strategies I have employed in Liberal Arts modules, providing a template for other academics wishing to find homes for classical reception topics within non-classics degree structures. In addition, I demonstrate the potential that the interdisciplinary Liberal Arts curricula hold for early-career scholars wanting to engage in research-led teaching. Such teaching provides crucial formative training for junior scholars seeking to progress their academic careers, and I argue that the experience has a flow-on effect in preparing scholars for teaching in a more traditional, single-honours environment. The rhetoric surrounding British Liberal Arts degrees revolves around the importation of a US- style Liberal Arts college model.

  • “Liberal Arts Education”?
    HOW CAN WE UNDERSTAND “LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION”? Harry Brighouse University of Wisconsin at Madison This essay was commissioned by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation under the auspices of the Mellon Research Forum on the Value of Liberal Arts Education. © 2019 The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

The Mellon Foundation encourages distribution of the report. For questions, please write to [email protected]. HOW CAN WE UNDERSTAND “LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION”? 2 The phrases “liberal education” and “liberal arts education” are both terms of art: neither refers to a natural kind. As such, they are used ambiguously in many discussions about policy and practice within higher education; sometimes they are mere slogans. I wouldn’t propose or try to impose one particular usage. The impulse behind this short essay was to help participants in the Mellon Research Forum’s discussions of liberal education and a liberal arts education to figure out whether they really were talking about the same thing, and, if not, to help them align their understandings for more productive dialogue.1 Introduction The phrase “Liberal Arts Education” requires interpretation. While used widely by educators and especially by higher education administrators, its meaning is not always clear. I do not propose to offer a single, precise definition here, but to tease out some of the important ways in which it can reasonably be used, in order to provide a conceptual map, and help fix which differences are merely semantic and which are substantive.

Georgia College helps to keep Georgia’s brightest students in the state by providing an engaging academic experience in a small- town, residential campus setting – small classes, active learning, exemplary undergraduate teaching, interactions with faculty inside and outside the class- room, significant and sustained opportunities to work with faculty on research and creative projects, residential learning, expansion of global awareness through study abroad, learning experiences in civic engagement and leader- ship development. Students learn to think creatively, communicate effectively, work well with others to solve problems, learn and adapt quickly, and apply cross-disciplinary approaches to difficult issues in order to find solutions. These are the graduates who are equipped to help create the strong knowledge economy, an economy based on innovation, that our state so desperately needs.” –Dorothy Leland, President Georgia College & State University / 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS Georgia College & State University ............................................................................
