In his latest IngenioUs blog article, historian, futurist, and CHELIP Faculty Fellow for Innovation, David J. Staley prompts us to consider the value of a liberal arts education. Staley draws from two recent seminal studies, one by Richard A. Detweiler that analyzed the liberal arts-related educational experienced and the adult behaviors of 1,000 graduates and the other, by Wendy Fischman and Howard Gardner that surveyed and interviewed stakeholders from a variety of colleges and universities; importantly, both studies provide evidence for the impact and value of the college experience well beyond the rhetoric that links education and job preparation that is so in vogue today.
