Being a better citizen does not result (directly) in a bigger economy and all educational institutions are under pressure to demonstrate how they are better at preparing students for the workforce. The liberal arts education suffers for this.
- throw10920 3y agoMy engineering degree at my state school known for its liberal arts education required that a quarter of the classes I took weren't related to engineering or a classical liberal arts education - just random credits with no discernable cause other than to make the university money. If your theory was correct, then the vast majority of those classes would have been engineering-related, with the extras going to classical liberal arts.
