Abstract

This chapter focuses on the value of a liberal arts education by considering how this educational model functioned in the past, how various stakeholders currently view it today, and how to reconceptualize general education from the current distributive model. By delving into the historical context while maintaining a clear understanding of the present, we can engage in a thoughtful analysis of existing challenges. Addressing present-day shortcomings can be effectively accomplished through a liberal arts-based general education, which has the potential to fulfill the global requirement for informed and engaged global citizens, the national need for an inventive workforce, and students' aspiration for profound higher education experiences.
