Liberal Arts
Why study Liberal Arts?
The Aquinas College Liberal Arts major is rooted in the Catholic intellectual tradition. The study of the liberal arts will deepen students’ appreciation of goodness, truth and beauty. The interdisciplinary major in Liberal Arts extends the natural integration evident in a liberal arts curriculum, reflecting the belief that truth is not confined to a single academic discipline and that all disciplines should be “… brought into dialogue for their mutual enhancement” (Ex Corde Ecclesiae, #15).
Upon completion of the program, the Liberal Arts graduate will be able to:
- Articulate how the Catholic liberal arts tradition deepens one’s understanding of goodness, truth, and beauty.
- Demonstrate an understanding of how the study of the liberal arts is deeply rooted within the Catholic intellectual tradition.
- Integrate diverse forms of knowledge in research and writing.
- Understand the role of study in the liberal arts as essential in leading a meaningful life.
