Liberal Arts It has often been said that the study of hberal arts teaches the student how to learn. It is a preparatory course — one in which the Arts student achieves an appreciation of such varied subjects as literature, mathematics, philosophy, languages, and the sciences. The attainment of knowledge is a continuous process and the College of Liberal Arts em- phasizes this development of the human mind. All of the courses attempt to relate the stu- dent to his community. Through a knowledge of history, sociology, and psychology, the student receives the tools which aid him in becoming a responsible and alert citizen. A liberal arts background can prepare a stu- dent for a wide variety of occupations. Stu- dents can attend graduate schools or profes- sional colleges. They can teach in high schools through the student-teacher program or they can become a prominent leader in the busi- ness world. The College of Liberal Arts is constantly aware, however, of its main goal — the attainment of a well-rounded and informed citizen. Students benefit from the use of closed circuit television for class lectures and demonstrations.
