Rick, I think a liberal arts education in its ideal form should help
prepare a student do anything and everything as well as deal with anything
and everyone. The mission of an Liberal Arts Core is to help prepare a
student to become a broadly informed, flexible, adaptable human being
endowed with knowledge, skills, and attitude to live rightly as well as to
earn a living. It is the development of a thoughtful citizen and a
compassionate human being. It is a mission that is concerned with the
whole person. It is the mission that seeks to ensure that our students
will graduate as individuals of character more competent in their ability
to contribute to society, more civil in how they think, more respectful in
how they talk, more sympathetic in how they act, and more sensitive to the
needs of the community of which they are a part. It is a mission that
promotes flexibility and adaptability in the face of rapid change both
inside and outside the workplace, and that affords the students a better
opportunity to play the many roles of life. It is beyond me how anyone
can omit psychology, a discipline that informs a student of his or her own
human condition as well as of his or her own fullest human potential, from
such a curriculum.
