Northwestern University
Evanston, IL
The Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences at Northwestern says to students: "What should you expect from a liberal arts education? You can acquire genuine literacy, the ability to write and speak with clarity and force and the corresponding ability to interpret the written and spoken word with nuance and insight. Being exposed to many disciplines and the ways they interact can give you a vivid picture of the complexity of the world—natural and manufactured, past and present, close to home and far away. A liberal arts education can give you the capacity to make well-reasoned ethical and aesthetic judgments. It can help you to develop the qualities you need to be an informed and responsible citizen. And most important, through a liberal arts education, you learn how to acquire knowledge and to expand your understanding." [Source]
