Liberal Arts
liberal arts and pure sciences, is the traditional academic course of study in Western higher education. Liberal arts takes the term art in the sense of a learned skill or academic skill rather than specifically the arts or fine arts. Liberal arts education can refer to studies in a College of Arts and Sciences degree program, a liberal arts college, or more generally, in its broadest sense, it can refer to education at a university, college, or community college. Such a course of study has a heavy emphasis on humanities, arts, and pure science forms of the natural sciences, formal sciences, and social sciences, contrasted by courses of study that emphasize vocational education or technical education over the aforementioned, or in some cases contrasted with those that have a sole emphasis in professional development, applied sciences, or religion-based courses - although professional development, applied sciences, and religious studies education can go hand-in-hand with liberal arts education, none of which are mutually exclusive, where a course of study can share elements of both liberal arts and professional development education.
The term "liberal arts" for an educational curriculum dates back to classical antiquity in the West, but has changed its meaning considerably, mostly expanding it. The seven subjects in the ancient and medieval meaning came to be divided into the trivium of rhetoric, grammar, and logic, and the quadrivium of astronomy (often more astrology), mathematics, geometry, and music. A liberal arts education is known to bring about research and transferable skills in its students and practitioners.
