Liberal Learning at Indiana University

At the cadre of Indiana University, as at all distinguished universities and undergraduate institutions, is the Higher of Arts and Sciences. The College provides the means for undergraduates to learn a liberal arts instruction: an education that broadens the educatee's knowledge and awareness in the major areas of human knowledge, significantly deepens that sensation in 1 or 2 fields, and prepares the foundation for a lifetime of continual learning. The distinguishing marker of the academy is that its faculty are engaged in the discovery and dissemination of knowledge, thereby offering students an unusually rich opportunity to gain a liberal education.

A liberal arts education begins with the premise that 1's world and one'due south cocky are worth knowing. To sympathize our world, nosotros must know something nigh its physical, biological, cerebral, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions.

By its very name, a liberal arts education suggests that broadness of written report is a main business organization. It inspires openness and latitude of heed, regard for values unlike our own, and respect for the creative processes of various disciplines. The liberal arts emphasize cultural, social, and biological change and assess the impact of technological progress on the world's surroundings. They generate appreciation and understanding of many societies' past accomplishments and provide the basis for future insight and enterprise.

At Indiana University, the liberal arts curriculum of the College of Arts and Sciences directs its students to achieve 11 major goals:

1. Our students must reach the genuine literacy required to read and listen effectively, and to speak and write clearly and persuasively.
2. The liberal arts teach students to think critically and creatively. As perceptive analysts of what they read, run into, and hear, students must larn to reason advisedly and correctly and to recognize the legitimacy of intuition when reason and evidence show bereft.
3. By gaining intellectual flexibility and latitude of mind, liberal arts students remain open to new ideas and information, willing to grow and learn, and sensitive to others' views and feelings.

5. A quality liberal arts education includes an appreciation of literature and the arts and the cultivation of the aesthetic judgment that makes possible the enjoyment and comprehension of works of the artistic imagination.
6. Liberal arts students must empathize and practice scientific methods; this arroyo to knowledge forms the basis of scientific research; guides the formation, testing, and validation of theories; and distinguishes conclusions that rest on unverified exclamation from those developed through the application of scientific reasoning.
7. Mathematical and statistical studies teach arts and sciences students to reason quantitatively, a skill essential in an increasingly technological club.
8. A liberal teaching must develop historical consciousness so that students tin view the present within the context of the past; appreciate tradition; and empathize the critical historical forces that have influenced the fashion nosotros think, feel, and act.
9. The College of Arts and Sciences emphasizes the study of the international customs and encourages students to get involved in the contemporary world. Past agreement the range of physical, geographic, economic, political, religious, and cultural realities influencing earth events, students cultivate an informed sensitivity to global and environmental issues.

Such an education taps many of the capacities that we as homo beings possess. It offers us fuller lives, in agreement and expressing ourselves and in relating to others.

These arts and sciences are preprofessional in the best sense. They serve as a foundation for many professions, many ways of earning a living. More than than training for today'south occupations, a liberal arts education offers students the foresight and flexibility they will need as they move on to careers and technologies not withal known or imagined.

Finally, a liberal arts education develops the qualities of heed that are needed by informed and responsible people. Any determination or action—whether personal or professional—informed past knowledge, rationality, and compassion makes the greatest contribution to a better world.
