LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGES
The liberal arts have, since classical antiquity, been considered the core of a well-rounded education. In the United States, there is a system of postsecondary education institutions dedicated specifically to this course of study, and these are known as liberal arts colleges.

The growth of liberal arts education in the USA was spurred in part by the "Yale Report" of 1828, which argued that undergraduate students needed to be given more than just career- or discipline-specific education in order to properly develop the mind. Liberal arts colleges are therefore generally small 4-year colleges that focus on the combination of humanities, arts, social and natural sciences that aim to provide a "whole person" education (although the specific curriculum varies from college to college). These are not institutions that train you for a particular career; rather, the critical, analytical, investigative nature of these programs prepares you for an almost infinite variety of potential careers. Currently, there are over 200 liberal arts colleges in the United States, and these may be secular or religiously-affiliated, public or private, rural or urban, independent or part of a larger university, gender-specific, residential, small (under 1,000 students) or large (around 10,000 students). All welcome international applicants.

No matter what their specifics, liberal arts colleges in the US offer innovative programs in an intimate student-centered environment designed to help you become a thoughtful, well-rounded citizen of the world. So for a truly complete education consider a liberal arts college in the USA.
