George Mason University says, "A liberal education proposes that the highest value of the college experience is the development of our ability to continue learning, adapting, creating, and responding to an ever-changing society and career environment. A liberal education turns out to be the most practical of all because it never goes out of date; the habits of mind it fosters help us to stay current with our careers and the life of our times."
