Liberal arts disciplines such as this one train students in thinking and communicating.

Such graduates are likely to be adaptable, innovative, and effective leaders.

It may be more difficult to get one's foot in the door with this kind of major, but the employer that gives those grads a chance will profit thereby.

Too many graduates of pre-professional programs are trained to be nothing more than replaceable drones.
