INSIGHTS - The Liberal Arts Today

"We're living in an increasingly global society. College costs more than it did before, and parents want to make sure it's setting up their children for the future," Mark Kornbluh, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said. "I've gotten to know a lot of alums from our college, a lot of very successful people. In later life, they realize their liberal arts education was key to their success as a businessman or businesswoman."
