Abstract

With the growing popularity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) degrees, it is important to understand the value of a business degree coupled with a liberal arts education. Business degrees provide one with a multitude of beneficial skills including analytical thinking, problem solving, decision making, critical thinking, and project management. When coupled with a liberal arts education, business degrees become even more powerful providing young professionals with a competitive advantage by creating a more well-rounded individual with a broader education base. In addition to the benefits of a business degree, the liberal arts education provides increased leadership skills, creativity and innovation, adaptability, and both richer native communication and foreign language skills. This chapter focuses on how a liberal arts education provides one with more pronounced, stronger communication skills both written and orally, which directly provides value to businesses.
