Liberal arts colleges are primarily colleges with an emphasis upon undergraduate study in the liberal arts. The Encyclopædia Britannica Concise defines "liberal arts" as a "college or university curriculum aimed at imparting general knowledge and developing general intellectual capacities, in contrast to a professional, vocational, or technical curriculum."1 Although what is known today as the liberal arts college began in Europe2, the term is commonly associated with the United States. Liberal arts colleges are found in countries all over the world as well.
