Most schools that offer Liberal Arts degrees have only a very debased and politically correct notion of what constitutes Liberal Arts and confuse the “Liberal” in Liberal Arts with Liberal politics and cultural manias. There are schools who do the job properly as it was once done and a graduate will be prepared for most anything with a LA degree from any of several small private Catholic colleges like Thomas More and Thomas Aquinas. You can’t go wrong at Hillsdale either. There are more such places, some Protestant ones, too. Somewhere there is a list with descriptions of good real Liberal Arts schools. Most of them are less expensive than the Ivy League or even most of the State Us.

The liberal arts curriculum was originally for the education of the children of the upper class. They didn't need to work, they needed to be able to conduct interesting conversation at parties. The purpose of a classic liberal arts is to prepare one for a life spent in talking to people and persuading them toward your point of view.
