Week 6 : The Value of a Liberal Studies Education
The purpose of this assignment is for you to demonstrate your understanding and appreciation of the value and importance of a liberal studies education and how it will benefit you as you progress through your educational program.
Specifics:
What is the value of a Liberal Studies/interdisciplinary education? As we read selections from the different academic disciplines of comparative literature (Cinderella), philosophy (Pursuit of Happiness & Ethical Dilemmas), linguistics (Gender and Language), and environment/public policy (Green Power), we noticed how often our thinking crosses these boundaries of disciplines.
In a 3-4 page paper, describe what a Liberal Studies/ Interdisciplinary Education means to you as an adult learner. Why is a liberal studies/interdisciplinary education important to you, to others, and to society as a whole? Draw on your life experiences and research to support your ideas.
