The education at a liberal arts college such as Albertson College has many dimensions.
Students generally learn more outside the classroom than inside.
Informal debate and discussion among students, the hallmark of college life, teach a great deal more than even the participants themselves sometimes realize. Participation in athletics or the production of plays, working on the newspaper or working in student government probably teach a good deal less of what their sponsors think they teach but are nonetheless valuable. Formal and informal contact with the good people in Student Affairs can make all the difference. However, the heart of liberal arts education is the interaction of students and faculty, and the heart of that interaction is the curriculum, the course of study a student must follow. It is only a statement that the recipient has successfully completed a certain course of study Perhaps the most difficult thing to understand about liberal arts education is why it involves the course of study it does.
