Employers and hiring managers believe in the liberal arts education. In fact, a 2014 study from the Association of American Colleges and Universities found the following statistics: 80% of employers believe that all students should obtain broad educations in the liberal arts and sciences
93% of employers believe that a candidate’s ability to think critically, communicate clearly, and solve complex problems ranks more important than a specific major
55% of employers desire candidates that have a balanced background of field-specific skills and a broad understanding of knowledge and skills
Clearly, a liberal arts education prepares you well and sets you up as a qualified candidate for openings upon graduation and beyond. By learning a broad range of skills, liberal arts students are equipped to succeed in any field.
