| | Liberal arts college - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A liberal arts college is an institution of higher education, most commonly found in the United States, offering programs in the liberal arts at the post-secondary level. |
 | | Generally, liberal arts colleges enroll fewer students than universities, and encourage — perhaps require — students to take a substantial number of courses in topics unrelated to their vocational goals, to provide educational depth and breadth. |
 | | This distinguishes liberal arts colleges from specialty colleges, which offer focused, single-discipline programs in business, engineering and technology, the trades, the fine arts, theology, etc. Increasingly, liberal arts colleges are becoming popular outside of the United States, with institutions opening in The Netherlands, Germany, Russia, and Canada, among other countries. |
