A liberal arts education provides you with a broad range of knowledge that is flexible and adaptable in almost every job market. This course of study will expose you to a broad range of humanities and social sciences courses that help you develop strong, analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills as well as the ability to apply critical thinking in real world settings. Subjects in a liberal arts education include english, history, philosophy, and economics, among others. Becoming a teacher will lead you to a rewarding and fulfilling career. It’s a chance to make an impact that can last a lifetime on your students and community.
