A true liberal arts education is not what you believe it to be--what typical universities present as liberal arts is a sad bastardization.
Hillsdale would be one of the few schools to get it right. They have students studying the Great Books, logic and rhetoric, original documents, and various disciplines of science and math. In a true liberal arts curriculum, students all follow the same course and become well-rounded and well-versed in the process.
State schools and other private institutions chuck some public speaking and art history classes and call it a day. That's not liberal arts.

Agree. Liberal arts as it was taught part of the trivium is the foundation of a good education.
