Description and Table of Contents
Description
For courses in Freshman Orientation and Student Success.
Recognizing and promoting the value of a liberal arts education, this book eases student fears about the job market and focuses on the benefits of a liberal education that helps advance a person's career-learning how to think, appreciation of the problems of humanity, a broad perspective of what it is to be human, cultural sensitivity, and much more. The text provides a serious yet fun look at the marketability of a liberal arts degree and guides students on how best to apply and benefit from it.
