Sanford J Ungar The New Liberal Arts Analysis
In his article “The New Liberal Arts” Sanford J Ungar, President of Goucher College advocates a radical clarification of several misconceptions about the liberal arts degree. He believes that these issues are the main reasons for the decline in liberal arts education today. He insists that a liberal arts education is still a valuable degree in modern society.
The first misconception he implores is that vocational training is more useful than a liberal art degree in today’s society. He then argues that future careers are focusing on liberal art educated people with variety of knowledge instead of a specialized professional. Therefore, it is better to work toward wide range of topics and knowledge.
