Book excerpt: The long-term impact of liberal arts education Liberal Arts Colleges and Liberal Arts Education: New Evidence on Impacts: ASHE Higher Education Report summarizes the impact of a liberal arts education on college students' intellectual and personal growth. Based on data from a study covering 6,500 students at 40 institutions, these findings reveal the elements of a liberal arts education that best serve students in the long term. As higher education faces increasing pressure to condense and narrow focus, this book provides a cogent argument for keeping the liberal arts education alive.
