"An interesting phenomenon is occurring. There's an increasing demand for liberal arts graduates especially by businesses that offer management-training programs. Why the demand? Because liberal arts graduates have learned to learn."

• John Naisbitt, author of New York Times Best-Seller “Megatrends”.

This dissociation is grounded …… with liberal education's domain broadening knowledge and thinking in contrast to professional studies, i.e. business …… dissociation between the domains exacerbates the problems of business students' neither perceiving the value in general education courses nor demonstrating cohesive and connected learning outcomes. Such curricular separation may thwart the ability of a student in business to become a liberally educated leader and manager.”

• Byron Chew & Cecilia McInnis-Bowers, Liberal Education, Winter 2004

"Liberal Arts may ultimately prove to be the most relevant learning model. People trained in the Liberal Arts learn to tolerate ambiguity and to bring order out of apparent confusion. They have the kind of sideways thinking and cross-classifying habit of mind that comes from learning, among other things, the many different ways of looking at literary works, social systems, chemical processes, or languages."

• Roger Smith,former CEO of General Motors
