Discus: Individual Schools: Top Liberal Arts Colleges (LACs):
Swarthmore
With a liberal arts education your skills and knowledge will never become obsolete. It can be a little scary when you think, what am I going to do with a philosophy major after I graduate? Business majors don't have that problem. But our society is a moving target, and if you prepare yourself narrowly to fit in a certain slot, the whole scene may have changed by the time you get there, whereas the underlying skills are always relevant.
You'll learn to size up a complex mass of new evidence and decide what is important. You learn to observe, think critically, speak and write articulately and act on your decisions. Those skills are applicable anywhere.
