Many students ask, "What can a Liberal Arts degree do for me?" Well, to start, a major in the Liberal Arts at Fisher can offer you a wide overview of the arts, sciences, and humanities. The many areas of study within a liberal arts degree include English language and literature, history (world and western), women's studies, modern languages, math, sociology, fine arts, performing arts, and political science, just to name a few. A liberal arts degree can enable you to continue on to a more specific degree program or can be used as a strong basis for the communication, reasoning, and thinking skills you have developed in order to enter into a wide choice of careers. Liberal arts degrees are appealing to employers who are looking for someone who has the proven ability to think about different topics and has not been trained to work in only one frame of mind. Every career, from teaching, to industrial work, to fashion, requires an understanding of society and culture. A major in Liberal Arts will give you the tools to forever examine, investigate, and analyze our ever-changing world. Moreover, since most college graduates in the 21st century are predicted to change degrees at least once and possibly several times, the highly transferable abilities that are a hallmark of a liberal education will help make that career change smooth and successful. The Liberal Arts program at Fisher provides you with a well-rounded education in preparation for transfer to a baccalaureate program or for some entry-level career positions. The program's curriculum is specifically designed to fulfill the core requirements taken in the first two years of most bachelor's degree programs, including, of course, the programs offered at Fisher.

Again, a common question students ask is, "What careers are available for Liberal Arts graduates?" The simplest answer is: many. The best thing about a liberal arts degree is that upon graduation, you will find more opportunities open to you because you have a broader base of knowledge than a candidate who has specialized in only one discipline. As with any job pursuit, however, the ultimate answer lies in your own preparation and determination.
