It is the purpose of this book to examine the ever-changing meaning
of the term "liberal arts" and to trace its development from
antiquity to the present. In doing so, the text will compare and
contrast the values of such an education with the other important
objective of schools and colleges, which is to prepare students
with appropriate occupational training. The book will highlight the
arguments of both points of view. In doing so, attention will be
paid to the contributions to society of those who have been exposed
to a variety of educational curricula. As part of the study, the
impact of the community college will be considered, along with the
impact of recent initiatives such as the Nation at Risk Report, No
Child Left Behind, Race to the Top, and the Common Core. Finally,
the text will conclude with an attempt to suggest the direction
that will determine the fate of liberal arts in schools and
colleges.
